got up this morning to find that jerry had been sick throughout the night,the dogs were sick the other night too.
he seems ok and is going mad for food,but should i not feed him today?or just leave him untill later?

Did he get any of your shandy last night??? Perhaps that could have upset him???

Cats are sometimes sick for no reason other than to help their digestion, so if it was just once and it just looks like regurgitated food, then I think it's okay. That's what I understand anyway.

I'd let him eat, but if he's sick again then perhaps take him to the vets for a check up.

Poor Jerry,

If my dogs or cat are ever sick i usually dont feed,i just make sure they have fresh water down, its always best to rest theire tummys if they have been sick.

If he has only been sick the once and it is undigested food then I'd say feed him a small amount and see what happens but if he has been sick several times then I would definitely starve him for at least a good 12 hours, possibly even longer. Make sure he has plenty of water as vomiting can quickly lead to dehydration. Do let us know how he is x

thanks fran,it was only once,ill see how he gets on with that little bit ive just fed him.he has pleanty of water.hopefully he will be fine,my poor lil boy,hes seems ok in himself other than him being very vocal but i put that down to him not having his full feed.hes still thowing his weight around at the dogs lol.
