Question
Hello I have a girl cat named Missy and poor thing has been throwing up off and on since last night. There is no food in it or hair, it is mostly clear with a slight tint to it. She has never had this problem in the past that I know of. I found her outside my apartment a few years ago after somebody dropped her off which still makes me very angry, she has been to the vet last year and got her shots, declawed and full checkup, they said she was fine but now I am getting scared for her because right now she has been sleeping pretty much all day and now she is laying in the corner. Just a couple of days ago she was no problems. I was also wondering could she have eaten a bug or something to make her sick. She has not eaten today or drank much of anything. I would greatly appreciate any advice you could give me.

Thanks Jason Cox

Answer
Jason -

Have your pet evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Vomiting repeatedly can cause problems for cats.  it is best that your speak with a vet to determine if she is dehydrated and needs fluid replacement.  He/she can also help you find out why she is vomiting.
