My 6-month kitten is throwing up bile. Should I call the ER?

Question

Hi, my 6 month old kitten has thrown up 5 times in the past 2 hours. The first time it looked like thrown up food and now it seems to be stomach bile. She threw up once on Friday. She had a dose of ring worm medicine from the vet on Thursday. Lmk if I need to take her to an emergency clinic. Thanks. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 5.5 lbs

I am sorry to hear about Finley. I would recommend removing access to her food and water for the next few hours to be sure she isn't taking anything in while her stomach is upset. If she continues to vomit numerous times over the next couple hours, I would recommend an examination by the emergency vet. If she becomes weak, if her gums become pale in color, if she becomes painful/has a painful abdomen, or if she begins vomiting blood these are also reasons to seek urgent veterinary care. If she seems to settle down overnight and has no more vomiting you can try slowly reintroducing water and then small amounts of food, but if the vomiting returns or she isn't back to her normal energetic self she should see her vet.
