My cat ate a mint and is throwing up. Does she need to see a vet?

Question

My cat ginger ate a lifesaver mint and has been throwing up all day. What can I do? Should I take her to the vet? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 8 years and 8 months old | 10 lbs

Yes, I would encourage you to have her evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. The mint may have really irritated her stomach lining. Anti nausea medication and possibly fluid therapy may be needed if she is dehydrated. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
