My cat keeps throwing up bile and sneezing. Can I help him at home?

Question

My cat has thrown up Sunday, Tuesday, and today. He has a history of vomiting from eating too fast, now he's randomly vomiting. Today his vomit was just bile. He's using the litter box fine, and he's been eating and drinking. I've noticed he's been sneezing more than usual, other than that he's fine. His name is Sammy and he is 6 years old. He has plasma cell pododermatitis, was on doxycycline about 6 months ago, and was on steroids from may until june of 2017. I have no money to take him to t.

I'm sorry to hear that Sammy isn't feeling well. Unfortunately, without and Evan, blood testing, and xrays, it's impossible to know if the vomiting is due to something very mild like a virus or something much more serious like a problem with one of his organs or something trapped in his stomach. Sometimes even with testing we don't find out the cause. With three days of vomiting, I would generally recommend a vet visit. Since that isn't an option, you'll have to wait and see if it resolves or not. I wouldn't recommend any supplements or food changes since Sammy is eating well now and we don't want to miss that up. If you notice a decrease in appetite or energy, it would really be prudent to try to find a way to get him to the vet (borrowing from a friend for example). I wish I could give you an at home treatment to start, but there really isn't anything to do at this point short of testing. Wishing you and Sammy the best of luck.
