Why is my cat throwing up foam and doing strange head movements?

Question

My cat has been throwing up foam for the last couple days. She also does odd head movements when this happens. I don't have money to take her to the vet until next week. She is eating normally and acting normal otherwise. She is a over a year old and still fairly small for her age. Thank you. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 7 months old | 5 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. I recommend that you have Sunshine 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 day!
