Vomiting in cats with kidney disease can be due to several factors, including changes in their condition, reaction to medications, or dietary issues. It's important to observe if there are any environmental changes or stressors that might have triggered this.

It’s advisable to consult with a veterinarian to ensure your cat receives the appropriate care and adjustments to her treatment plan, if necessary.

While there are some home remedies for mild vomiting, it is crucial to consult with a vet before trying anything, especially in cats with kidney disease, to prevent worsening her condition.
