It sounds like your cat is having a pretty intense reaction after eating some wet food, showing signs of both vomiting and watery diarrhea. I understand how concerning this can be for you.
- Monitor your cat closely for any changes in behavior.
- Make sure she stays hydrated, offering fresh water frequently.
- Consider whether she might have eaten something unusual or if there are other stressors.
Vomiting and diarrhea can sometimes be a temporary upset from a change in diet or could indicate a more serious issue such as a food allergy or infection. It is crucial to monitor your cat's condition and see if there are any improvements or worsening of symptoms. Providing plenty of water is important to prevent dehydration, and if you notice any other alarming signs like lethargy or refusal to drink water, don't hesitate to contact a vet.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
