Hi there. With what you're describing, Sabrina should be seen by a vet ASAP. Vomiting can occur for several reasons, such as pancreatitis, intestinal blockage, viruses, etc. However, because she's vomiting and falling over, it does sound like she has something serious going and and she needs veterinary care. I hope that helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Ruby is very ill and has to see a vet immediately. It's not normal at all for a cat to vomit that much consistently, and it's serious that she vomits when she eats. There could be a number of things causing it such as a pyometra, a foreign body, kidney or liver disease, or even cancer. This is not something that can be treated at home or can wait until the morning. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

I would be worried about Princess as vomiting five time in under an hour is a lot of vomiting. It's also concerning that her appetite has gone down in the past couple of days as well. In a senior cat, this could be caused by a GI illness, a foreign body, pancreatitis, or something more serious such as kidney failure, liver disease, diabetes, or even cancer. Given the amount of times she has vomited in such a short period of time, I would have her seen by a vet now. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck!
