Should I worry if my 6 yr old cat is throwing up her wet food? She was only liking beef now throwing it up and only kept down duck.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Jewel. Yes, she should see her veterinarian regarding the vomiting. It is not normal. She could have a food sensitivity, pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease or a number of other causes. You veterinarian will get clues based on her physical exam and be able to guide you as fas as diagnostics and treatment options. I hope this information helps!
