Hi there
Please could someone help,I have an 8 yr old black cat who has been vomiting since Sunday evening at least 4-5 times a day.I usually give her tinned meat with a few dried biscuits on top for her meals.on Sunday I gave her a saucer full of dried biscuits as a treat.later that evening she started wrenching,of which I thought she was coughing up a fur ball,but it was the cat biscuits as they were still whole and still had their shape.she continued to vomit throughout the night into the next day.the vomit went from mushy to runny,looked like saliva with a hint of pink colour in it.sometimes the vomit is brown but this is only when she has eaten her meat,which is why I haven't taken her to the vets as she is still eating her food and she does come to me.its not like she's lifeless or anything but she just can't keep anything down.Today I have had a feel of her tummy and it feels a little hard and she groaned when I pushed my fingers onto her tummy to have a feel.she is still vomiting today it is now thurs can anyone give advice or does anyone know what the problem is would really appreciate it.
Thanks

HI,
PLEASE take your cat to a Vet. Vomiting is not normal, and as you said might be caused by a furball, and again, it might not be.
If it has been vomiting now for 4 days, please don't wait. Take her today.
I do wish you the best.

Generally when a cat vomits it is a hair ball or they have eaten something that is disagreeing with them, if there no other signs of illness you should take their food and water away for 12 hours and the reintroduce a bland diet, but this has been five day, and there are traces of blood at this point,


When you should call your veterinarian

• blood in vomit
• vomiting accompanied by diarrhea
• vomit looks and smells like stool
• vomiting is projectile

Hi, how's you cat?
My cat started vomiting one day (sounds a lot like your situation) and turned out she had tape worms caused by ingesting a live flea while cleaning herself. The vet wormed her and treated her for the tapeworms and she was back to norm 24 hrs later. You can by tapeworm treatments at a feed and seen or farm market, but going to the vet to get an accurate diagnosis is always the more responsible thing to do if your not 100% sure tapeworms is the cause.
