Feline gastroenteritis and stomach inflammation are two different conditions⚠️ Make sure to differentiate them.

Gastroenteritis involves two distinct conditions: **gastritis** and **enteritis**. Many cat owners immediately assume their cat has gastroenteritis when they see it vomiting. Should you give antibiotics? Remember, antibiotics are not always the solution! Never use medication blindly; make sure to identify the symptoms first!

1️⃣ **Gastritis: Vomiting Only**
The cat only vomits without diarrhea. The vomit is mostly yellowish or clear foamy liquid. If it contains a little bit of pinkish stomach lining, it's a sign of severe vomiting where there's nothing left to expel, damaging the stomach lining.

2️⃣ **Enteritis: Diarrhea Only**
First, rule out any parasitic infection. If there’s no parasite, the stool will be mushy or watery, with severe diarrhea. The cat appears lethargic, refuses to eat or drink but does not vomit. Sometimes, there might be blood in the stool, but still no vomiting.

3️⃣ **Gastroenteritis: Vomiting and Diarrhea**
When both symptoms occur simultaneously, the cat might experience abdominal pain, bloating, and even arching of the back!

✅ **Solutions (Always administer with caution)**
(1) **Gastritis:** Pediatric Amoxicillin 1mg/kg, Cat Probiotic 1mg/kg, Omeprazole 1mg/kg.
(2) **Enteritis:** Replace Omeprazole with Montmorillonite powder from the Gastritis solution.
(3) **Gastroenteritis:** Use both Omeprazole and Montmorillonite powder.

⚠️ **Tips**
① If your cat starts vomiting or having diarrhea, withhold food and water for 6-8 hours before administering medication. 💊
② During this period, the cat likely won't eat voluntarily. Use a syringe to give some glucose water to prevent dehydration.
③ Keep the diet simple until recovery. Once the condition improves, you can stop the antibiotics and antiemetics, but continue Cat Probiotic for 2 more days to support gut flora restoration, helping the cat recover.

Lastly, always monitor your cat's condition closely. If you're unsure about anything, consult your vet immediately. We hope all cats stay healthy and happy!
