It is common for cats to drink milk, but they vomit after drinking it. What should you do at this time? First of all, we need to understand that most adult cats cannot drink milk because most cats lose their ability to digest lactose after adulthood, which can cause symptoms such as indigestion and diarrhea.
Therefore, we should try to avoid giving adult cats milk.
For kittens, because their physiological development is not yet mature, they can drink milk in moderation. However, even kittens must control the amount of milk they drink. Too much milk can also lead to adverse reactions for cats.
So, what if your cat drinks milk and vomits? First, clean up the milk spit out by the cat in time and let the cat get exposed to substances that are harmful to it again, which will lead to more serious problems.
Secondly, observe the cat's physical condition.
If the cat vomits very little, has good mental state, and has no other abnormal reactions, it may be that there is only a slight indigestion. At this time, we can let the cat fast for a period of time so that its gastrointestinal tract can rest, and then gradually feed easily digestible foods, and then gradually return to normal diet after its gastrointestinal tract has slightly adapted to these foods.
In addition, drinking some warm water or rice soup can also help. If the cat vomits a lot, and even has other abnormal reactions such as vomiting, diarrhea, etc., you need to go to the veterinarian in time to ask the veterinarian to examine and treat the cat.
Because this may be caused by milk allergies, enteritis, gastritis, etc., it is quite serious, and cats need timely treatment.
In short, it is not advisable to give cats milk. We should try to avoid giving cats milk. If the cat accidentally drinks milk and vomits, we need to take corresponding measures according to the situation. We must observe the cat's reaction in time to ensure the cat's health.
