My cat won't eat, vomits clear liquid, and hides. What to do?

Question

Hi my cat juju she’s about 3 and she’s been really hungry the past month but all of a sudden 2 days ago she stopped eating and she threw up clear liquid and a little foam she’s drinking lots of water and she’s purring still, her gums are pink and her nose is too she keeps hiding under my bed which she’s never done and she doesn’t want to move but if I pick her up she’s fine she’s still cleaning herself a little I can’t take her to the vet because my family is in debt from her last bill thank you.

Poor Juju. There is a lot of things that can cause these symptoms like an infection somewhere, an upset tummy, parasites, a foreign body that could be causing an obstruction, and much more. I would start by trying to entice her to eat using some plain boiled chicken. If she has any nasal discharge, you may want to try some benadryl in case there is an allergy component. See link below. Unfortunately, if there is something more serious like an obstruction, there isn't a great home remedy for this. So if she isn't improving in the next few days, I would see if you can find a vet that has a first free exam, allows payment plans, or even has care credit that you may be able to apply to. I hope this helps and she starts to feel better soon. https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/cat/benadryl/#!
