The four methods for cats to quickly induce vomiting are mainly soapy water to induce vomiting, hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting, vegetable oil to induce vomiting and cat grass to induce vomiting. However, if the best time to induce vomiting has been missed, it is recommended to take the cat to a pet hospital for vomiting treatment as soon as possible. In addition, if the foreign object that the cat accidentally eats is large or stuck in the esophagus, the method of inducing vomiting will not be effective at this time. It is recommended that the owner immediately take the cat to a pet hospital for surgical treatment.

1. Soapy water to induce vomiting

To induce vomiting in cats, soapy water can be mixed with water at a concentration of 1:1 or 2:1, and then injected directly into the cat’s mouth. Soapy water to induce vomiting is suitable for use when foreign bodies or toxic and harmful substances have been eaten within half an hour and neurological symptoms have not yet appeared.

Note: If the cat is foaming at the mouth, convulsing, listless, etc., it needs to be taken to the hospital for surgery or drug treatment. If the cat is not treated in time, it may be life-threatening.

2. Hydrogen peroxide induces vomiting

Because generally cats’ stomachs cannot accept hydrogen peroxide and will vomit after being stimulated, so cats can be given hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting.

Note: Because hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties, the dosage must be strictly controlled, otherwise it will easily cause more serious damage to the cat.

3. Vegetable oil induces vomiting

Because vegetable oil can lubricate the intestines and eliminate hair balls, the owner can pump the vegetable oil into a syringe, about 8 ml per 2.5 kilograms dose. Generally, after 16 hours, the foreign body can be excreted by the cat through vomiting or excretion.

4. Cat grass induces vomiting

Cat grass can stimulate the cat’s stomach wall and also induce vomiting. However, you need to be careful not to feed too much, otherwise it will cause physical discomfort to the cat.
