My cat threw up a bunch this morning and is still getting sick every once in a while. The vomit is mostly liquid now. Should I bring him into the vet?

Sorry to hear that Ryder isn’t feeling well! If he is hiding, seems painful, is having diarrhea or seems listless/lethargic, take him in. If his attitude is still seems good and the vomiting seems to be slowing down significantly this afternoon it is reasonable to monitor him, but if he does become lethargic, seems painful, is hiding, starts having diarrhea or if he continues to vomit into the evening, please take him in. If you are going to watch him at home, offer small amounts of water at a time frequently, and hold off food until tomorrow morning, unless he is a diabetic. If he does have diabetes, he should go in if he’s been vomiting all day. I hope that is helpful!
