- Consult your veterinarian if vomiting persists or worsens.
- Monitor for any additional symptoms such as lethargy or decreased appetite.
- Consider temporarily switching to a bland diet and see if symptoms improve.
Cats can sometimes react to specific ingredients in dry food, or it could be a temporary upset stomach. However, repeated vomiting is not normal and should be addressed, especially if it happens repeatedly or is accompanied by other symptoms. Ensure she stays hydrated and try offering a bland diet while monitoring her for any other changes.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
