My cat threw up white foam and made a wheezing noise. Should I worry?

Question

My kitty Bunny just threw up white foam. There were 2 spots of it that were a little larger than the size of a quarter. She made this airy almost gasp or wheezy type noise while doing it. She has been eating and drinking fine from what I’ve seen. She doesn’t seem sluggish. She’s alert but I think throwing up tired her out. Should I be worried? What symptoms should I be watching for? What could have caused this? How can I support my kitty at home? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 1 year and 4 months old | 9 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Vomiting can occur from many conditions such as foreign body ingestion and obstruction, pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, among other possibilities. This could have also been an isolated episode. However, if this continues, I recommend that you have Bunny evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. This will likely require bloodwork and abdominal imaging in terms of diagnostics. Treatment would be based on findings. At the very least your veterinarian could start her on medications to make her feel better. In the meantime, keep water available at all times to try to prevent dehydration. Good luck and have a good night!
