Hello, all. I have a situation: my 11 y/o cat is vomiting but it's white foamy liquid that's coming out. Could it be bile? She had this morning, which she vomited up a while after. She ate nothing after that, and had a foamy vomit a few hours later, and another foamy vomit about two hours ago. Now the vomiting is accompanied by diarrhea. At first, the diarrhea was greenish, now it's watery with mucus. She's alert, walking around, but shes not eating and shes vomiting and having diarrhea. I think I have to take her to the hospital.
Baby has a history of vomiting since she was a kitten, but only now it has become more frequent. Last year she had a complete work up as well as an abdominal sonogram. Her vet at the humane society of NY was not able to find anything wrong with her, so Baby was put on a diet that is for sensitive stomachs. It's a gastric diet from Purina, called EN and it's not the best food but it seems to have controlled her vomiting somewhat. She still vomits but it's not so frequent. She has also lost weight - she used to be about 16 pounds but now she's about 10 pounds. This occurred last year and while we would like to think it was because we switched her to wet food, it's not so. Something is going on but we just can't figure it out. Her weight has since been stable at about 10 pounds. Her mental state is the same as it always was, she hasn't changed throughout any of this.
At the moment, she's ok but im wondering what could be causing this problem. I live with my siblings and sometimes they are careless about the products they use around the house and on themselves. Could it a chemical she's come in contact with or something she ate off the floor? I guess I won't know exactly but im worried for her.
What could greenish diarrhea mean? The vomiting accompanied by diarrhea is very unsettling for me because I feel like it could be something that she ate and her body is now trying to get rid of it. Can anyone offer their two cents? what should I do at this point? she's alert and walking around so I don't know if I should wait until the morning to bring her to the vet or just take her to the hospital now...
