Sabrina is vomiting white foam! **update Fri. 10/23/08**

[astralis]

I realize this thread is old but it looks like the people involved have some true experience about it.

My cat has vomited two days in a row and eventually only vomited foam today (saliva?). Now she has no appetite and won't drink water.

It's Saturday evening and I can't get to a vet until Monday. Do you think she'll be okay, although a bit dehydrated, by Monday?

Any advice?

How old is she? Is this new? Has she eaten anything? Is she acting lethargic?

I know you said there are no vets nearby, but maybe try calling an emergency vet - there are two near me - Boston area - that have staff there 24/7, and might be able to at least hear you out over the phone and tell you what to look for.

astralis, I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. I'd definitely be calling an ER clinic and most likley taking her in to be seen. She may have eaten something that she's not supposed to or may even have something like pancreatitis like my Ziggy had. Hopefully you'll be able to get her some help soon. I'll be keeping her in my thoughts and prayers.

When cat's don't eat they're usually pretty sick. And yes not drinking can cause some very bad dehydration.

If it was my cat I'd head to the ER if your regular vet isn't in, I wouldn't wait until Monday.

Her thread title says there's no emergency vet nearby. We don't know where she lives, but I gave her two numbers I know are staffed 24 hours a day, so at least she can talk to someone.

You must have posted at the same time I did because I did not see your other reply or I would have figured it out. I don't typically read the individual post titles, just the posts so I didn't see the part about no ER vet nearby. Sorry.

I called a vet clinic in a different city and they said I should bring her in -- which is impossible tonight. I'll do it in the morning, though, when I can drive. They wouldn't be able to see her for another three hours anyhow.

did you ever figure out what it was? my cat finley has started doing this the past few days, yesterday morning we took him to the er and they did a blood test, gave him fluids and felt his abdomen which they said felt soft (not a tumor) and did his anal glands which were pretty full. he felt better that night, and this morning, but now this afternoon he's vomiting again, he has diarrhea and is going to dark corners like your cat! the er said to take him to the vet if it persists, and i just called my vet and they say to take him to the er. i'm completely confused.

did you ever figure out what it was??

This is new behavior. This cat loves food, in all forms. She stopped eating today and shows no interest at all in food. I can open up a can of wet food, her favorite, right in front of her and she won't even look at it.

She still has a little bit of spunk but she seems to be slowing down. She's sitting in odd locations: dark corners.

She's is a young cat, probably right out of adolescence.

She's been vomiting for two days but the first day did not seem strange because my cats sometimes go through a spell of vomiting for a day (hairball, probably). But now it's serious.
