Why is my cat throwing up white foam, dry heaving, and not eating?

Question

My cat is puking a white foam constantly, and she is acting very strange. She’s dry heaving and can’t get anything up at certain times. She hasn’t eaten in over a day. I’m very worried. What’s wrong with her? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Kami. She needs to see a veterinarian as it sounds like she has had a significant amount of vomiting. She is likely dehydrated by now. Depending on her exam findings, diagnostic tests such as blood work and x-rays may be discussed. A treatment plan, including fluids to rehydrate her, will be formulated. She could have eaten a foreign object that is causing an obstruction in gastrointestinal tract. Intestinal infections or generalized inflammation can cause vomiting as well. Older cats are more prone to kidney and thyroid disorders. Unfortunately, there are many possibilities depending on her age and history. I hope this information helps!
