Frostbite is the damage that is caused to the skin and other tissues due to extreme cold. The paws, ears and tail are the most common tissues to be affected. If you suspect your cat has frostbite, you should seek medical attention immediately. Mild cases of frostbite usually resolve with little permanent damage, while more severe frostbite may result in permanent disfiguration or alteration of the affected tissues.

Gastritis refers to inflammation of the lining of the stomach and is associated with a number of causes and underlying conditions. The most common clinical signs associated with gastritis are sudden vomiting and decreased appetite. Acute gastritis is typically self-limiting and of short (less than 24 hours) duration. The cause is normally not discovered because the clinical signs usually resolve before diagnostic testing is performed. In chronic cases, more involved testing will be undertaken to determine the exact cause of the cat's vomiting.
