Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 2 years and 9 months old
My cat started throwing up yellow liquid around 4 am this morning. He was throwing up for 20 minutes and then would throw up every 30 minutes or so, it is now almost 3 pm and he is still throwing up every but minutes to an hour but now it is clear and watery with some white foam. It is Sunday and my vets office is closed, tomorrow is President's day and the vet will also be closed... Please help. He's not lethargic but he's been staying in bed all day.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Pinkie! Pinkie needs to see a Vet. There is likely an open Emergency hospital in your area. Your Vet, if you call them, should have an answering machine providing emergency clinic numbers. I wouldn't be too sure they are closed Monday. My hospital is open. Causes of vomiting are: intestinal parasites, viral or bacterial infections, foreign body, dietary indiscretion, toxin ingestion, kidney or liver problems, food allergy/intolerance, coughing from asthma. I hope this helps and I wish Pinkie the best!
