Your cat's vomiting and upset stomach can be concerning, especially if there's been no improvement. It's important to monitor her condition carefully and consider professional help.
- Monitor for any additional symptoms or changes in behavior
- Ensure your cat stays hydrated
- Consult a vet if the condition persists or worsens
An upset stomach in cats can have various causes, including dietary indiscretion, stress, or more serious underlying issues. Try to withhold food for 12 hours, then offer a small amount of a bland diet such as boiled chicken. Ensure she has access to fresh water and watch for other symptoms such as lethargy or diarrhea. However, if she continues to vomit or her condition worsens, it's important to consult with a vet promptly.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
