If the feline vomits after eating there is probably something wrong. Let’s see together why the cat vomits whole food and what to do about it.
It is possible to notice vomiting in the feline very often, as it is a very frequent pathology in our four-legged friends. It happens that your cat vomits hairballs, because of their habit of cleaning themselves by licking themselves, in this way they ingest hairs that expel through vomiting.
Other times it may happen instead that your furry friend vomits the whole food, just as it ingested it. Let’s see together what are the causes of this type of vomiting and what needs to be done about it.
Cat vomits after eating: causes
First of all it is necessary to know how to distinguish regurgitation from vomiting. The first does not have retching and may indicate healthy problems for the cat such as:
Myasthenia gravis in cats
Feline dysautonomia
While in the case of vomiting, before the latter occurs the cat will present salivation, sometimes nausea and retching. If your cat eats quickly and after eating vomits the food as well as ingests it, it probably has hairballs in the stomach, which it has not expelled and which obstruct the entry of food into the latter.
If your four-legged friend does not have the habit of eating quickly and does not have hairballs inside his body, the causes of vomiting whole food can be:
Gastritis in the cat
Intolerances
Food allergies of the cat
Errors in the diet
In addition, if your furry friend vomits whole food after a few hours and does not produce feces, it is likely that the cat has a foreign body in the body that obstructs it. In any case, if the cat often has this condition, it is necessary to contact a veterinarian.
Cat vomits whole food: what to do

Dehydration in the cat
Lack of feces
Abbacchiamento
It is necessary to contact the veterinarian. The latter through the appropriate examinations such as: ultrasounds, blood tests, stool tests, x-rays, can diagnose the cause of vomiting in the cat.
