Question

This evening when we came home from work we noticed our kitty (aged 16 and otherwise in great health) had diarrhea and had been vomiting, or trying to vomit. All that came up was a clear bit of foamy substance on the carpet. She is sleeping now. We can''t see where she had eaten anything out of the ordinary or gotten into anything. She did eat her normal food this morning. Should we be alarmed?

Hi XXXXXXX,
If she only had the one episode of vomiting and diarrhea that I would not be alarmed. This can happen every now and then for cats, the same way that it can happen for people. However, if she continues to vomit or have diarrhea, or refuses to eat her food tomorrow, or if she starts to show signs of drinking and urinating excessively, then she should go in for a visit to the veterinarian. The vet can run some blood and urine laboratory tests to try to determine why this would be happening.
I hope that this information is of help to you, and that your kitty feels better soon. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
