My cat vomited chicken bones. What to do if I can't afford a vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 4 lbs

My cat just vomited 3 times tonight and the vomit was filled with chicken bones. I also started her on a new diet today because she was looking awfully thin. She’s also due for her worming treatment and is nursing at the moment but she looks so thin I’m worried about her but I can’t afford the vet. Plz help

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your cat. Vomiting bones is a very serious condition. The bone fragments can block or tear her intestines which can be life threatening. You can see if there is a low cost clinic available or one that takes payment plans. She really needs medical care. You can try to feed her some bread to try to pad the bones as they pass. Good luck!
