Why Cat GI Problems Are Different From Dog GI Problems
Gastrointestinal problems are the most frequently reported health complaint among cats in India. These range from acute vomiting caused by dietary change or hairballs, to chronic conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and small cell lymphoma requiring long-term management. A critical safety point: many drugs safe for dogs are toxic to cats — never substitute dog GI products for cat use.

When Chronic Vomiting Means Something More Serious
Cats with chronic vomiting (more than once weekly), unexplained weight loss, or sudden changes in food preference should be evaluated for IBD, hyperthyroidism, or early kidney disease before beginning GI supplementation. These three conditions frequently present with GI symptoms first, and treating the stomach without investigating the underlying cause delays the correct diagnosis.
