Veterinary Advice, Animal News & Views With Hosts, Dr. Roger Welton & Dr. Karen Louis

Some cats are prone to regurgitation or vomiting, but seem otherwise fine in every other way (normal appetite, body condition, playfulness, litter box habits, etc.). Sometimes hairballs come up, while other times it can be undigested or partially digested food, bile, or some combination of all of the above. Because these cats we commonly call "pukers" are otherwise normal and it is not an uncommon issue, many cat parents dismiss the issue. To be fair, other than being a bit of an inconvenience to the cat parent, in many cases it is a benign issue with no real cause for concern. However, in other cases, it could a signal of significant underlying disease that should be addressed. In this episode, Dr. Roger discusses how cat parents can distinguish between their cat being a harmless/benign puker versus when there is serious cause for concern.Send listener emails for consideration to be addressed by Dr. Roger on the air to comments@web-dvm.net.
