I am very sorry to hear about Sky. It definitely sounds like she needs veterinary care. It sounds like she has a wide variety of symptoms that could be associated with a multitude of causes. She could be not eating and drooling due to nausea, or if she has a respiratory infection it could be difficult to eat if she is congested, or she could have a dental issue such as an infected tooth. I would get her to a vet as soon as possible. A good physical examination and history may help the vet narrow down possible causes and guide their testing and treatment recommendations. Best of luck with Sky.

I highly recommend taking Jhingl to a vet. I am very concerned with how much she is vomiting and her being lethargic. Your veterinarian can provide fluid support. They can also provide diagnostics to see exactly why she is vomiting. I hope she feels better soon and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The signs that you describe indicate nausea (licking lips) and she is vomiting and both of these are concerning. These can be seen with a variety of conditions such as pancreatitis, chronic kidney disease, foreign body ingestion and obstruction, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have your veterinarian take a look at Tina for further assessment and treatment based on findings. At the very least, they can start her on anti-nausea medications and check her hydration status. Good luck! Keeping my fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!

Poor Snowbell! It sounds like she is very sick, and it's extremely serious she has been vomiting multiple times a day for two days. It could be she has a severe GI illness, ate something rotten, could have a foreign body, or could have pancreatitis. This is not something that can be treated at home, and I would consider her symptoms a medical emergency. She needs to see a vet now. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
