Hi, I have an one year old male cat. He's name is peanut. He hasn't been eating that much for a few days and then suddenly yesterday he stopped eating completely. Later he started vomiting yellow liquid. He vomited so frequently. It was late at night so I couldn't go to vet so I fed him some chicken broth, turmeric, honey,and coconut oil mixture. He's on anti nausea medicine. He started drinking water this afternoon but he's still throwing up continuously. We went to vet today but they were closed. Sadly where I live there is only one vet which is provided by the government and they aren't expert in cats. I don't know what to do now,,, please help me. What am I supposed to do now? Idk what happened to him. He's so sick.

Hello. Im not sure where you live but in the UK, it is a legal requirement for vets to be open 24 hours a day or send patients to an emergency vet, who covers the night shifts and weekend - rather like an A and E department.  Some illnesses simply cannot wait and one of these is severe vomiting and diarrhoea. It sounds as though your cat may be extremely dehydrated and therefore need a drip.  Diet wise, always avoid giving anything high in fat or oil to a vomiting cat.  If they have been examined and do not need fluids, very small peices of freshly-cooked chicken might be acceptable.

I'm sorry - I have read that again and can read that you live away.  Please, try to get your cat to a vets if at all possible - if they can't keep water down, then they really may need a drip and even if they arent experts in cats, your vet may be able to do this.

away = outside the UK.   My apologies - I was typing too fast.  Wishing you all the best with your cat.
