I would highly recommend a veterinarian. My concern is Kinder's age and the increase in drinking with vomiting. She may have kidney disease or be in kidney failure. This causes increased drinking and vomiting. Ideally Kinder needs blood work to evaluate her. I am so sorry Kinder isn't doing well and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
