Hi there, I'm sorry to hear about your kitty's vomiting episode. It can be worrying when our pets aren't feeling well, especially when it comes on suddenly.
Vomiting in senior cats can be caused by several issues. It could be something simple, like a hairball or an upset stomach from something she ate. However, it could also be due to more serious conditions like kidney disease, liver problems, or an infection. Cats are experts at hiding discomfort, so any sudden changes in behavior should be taken seriously.
In the meantime, here are some things you can do at home:
1. Temporarily withhold food for a few hours to give her stomach a chance to settle, but make sure fresh water is available.
2. Monitor her for any additional symptoms such as lethargy, diarrhea, or continued vomiting.
3. Keep an eye on her hydration; gently lift her skin over the shoulder blade — if it doesn't snap back quickly, dehydration may be a concern.
If she becomes very lethargic, shows signs of pain, or the vomiting doesn’t stop, those are signs of a potentially serious issue.
For more guidance tailored to your cat's condition, please consider booking a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. They can provide additional advice and reassurance until you see your vet in the morning. Wishing a speedy recovery for your furry friend!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
