Poorly Cat

Hi There,  My name is Sonia and my 15 yo female cat is called Wizza, she visited the vets on Friday 16th of this month, she had been vomiting every time she ate it was a white foam/froth, after a check up and a blood test that came back with a high white cell blood count it was determined she had an infection, after having a long lasting antibiotic injection she was free to come home with a prescription of Pro Plan FortiFlora, one sachet to be had daily for 7 days, to be sprinkled on food, doesn't have to taken all in one go can be spread out, the only problem is Wiz can not keep down any solid food only fluids is before I take her back to the vets is there anything else I could possibly do help her Thanks in advance for any information

Hello!  There are two things to think about with vomiting cats. First, regardless of the cause, they are bringing up fluid that should be in their bodies and become very dehydrated very quickly, putting their organs at risk.  Therefore repeated visits to check the hydration level are essential - if the vomiting doesn't stop, then eventually they will need a drip.   This may need to be checked sooner rather than later. 2.  Not all causes of vomiting in the cat show up on a basic blood test; have pancreatitis, foreign bodies, tumours etc been ruled out?  Your vet will have a running order in their head in which they want to do this.  This may depend on the severity and budget available Your vet may also want to take some urine to check whether the kidneys are working ok (as kidney levels are sometimes raised artificially if a cat is dehydrated). So in summary, a visit to the vet is needed now.  We hope they can help you get to the bottom of it - Best of luck.
