My cat is vomiting with just her stomach liquid, doesn’t eat and look sad. What could have happened to her?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Freya! Causes of vomiting in young cats are: intestinal parasites, viral or bacterial infections, pancreatitis, toxin ingestion, foreign body ingestion (something is stuck and needs surgery to remove), she ate something gross that is upsetting her stomach or a food allergy or intolerance. If Freya has been vomiting for more than 2 day and has not been eating for 3 or more days she should see a Vet today. Cats should not go more than 3 days with out eating, they can become even more sick. Since it;s Friday it may be best to have her seen today. After the Vet examines her they may want to do blood work and take X-rays of her belly to try and fine out the cause of her vomiting. I would try to bring a stool sample with you so they can check for parasites. I hope this helps and I wish Freya a speedy recovery!
