My cat is vomiting, has diarrhea, and won't drink. Is she dehydrated?

Question

Hi, I'm concerned about my cat. Last night she woke me up being sick and then I also woke to find she had diarrhoea. She's been in the garden a lot during the hot weather but refuses to drink from her water bowl. She occasionally drinks from my water glass by my bed but I am concerned she isn't taking in enough fluids. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 8 years and 2 months old

Poor socks! Unfortunately there are several things that could cause vomiting and diarrhea. She could have an infection, liver or kidney issues, parasites, and much more. Since she is not drinking much water and she is at high risk for dehydration, I would strongly recommend for you to have your vet to look at her. Your vet will be able to determine the cause and get her started on the proper meds to make her feel better. I hope this helps!
