Clyde needs to see his veterinarian. Just like with humans, many things can make cats threw up and not eat. This can range from a parasitic infestation to an intestinal blockage. Any pet who is not eating for 24 hours needs to be examined by the doctor as dehydration and other complications can set in quickly. Have Clyde examined today. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.

I am sorry to hear that Clyde isn’t feeling well. Vomiting can be a sign of many different problems such as an intestinal obstruction, inflammatory bowel disease, kidney disease, and lymphoma among others. I would highly encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Blood work and possibly an X-ray may be recommended to help diagnose the problem and determine the best treatment plan. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
