I hate to hear Lulu is not feeling well. Any pet vomiting beyond 24 hours should be examined by the veterinarian. Just like humans, there are many many causes of vomiting and some of the causes can be very serious. I recommend to have Lulu examined today. Here is a link about vomiting which may have helpful information: https://www.petcoach.co/article/vomiting-in-cats/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/most-common-causes-of-vomiting-in-cats/ I hope your kitty feels better quickly!

    Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Findik. Any sign of illness in a pet that persists or worsens needs to be evaluated by your veterinarian and re evaluated until the problem is solved or they refer you to another vet/or you go to another vet for a second opinion. Not sure if Findik is an indoor/outdoor cat but I would advise deworming her since she appears to be having some vomiting but is not sick. That is an easy thing to do to rule out intestinal parasites and should be done in all cases of gastrointestinal upset as long as the medication can be safely given and it is not vomited back up. Intestinal parasites are extremely common across the globe and account for the vast majority of vomiting and diarrhea cases. Other causes include inflammation, infection, dietary problems (including dietary indiscretion or eating things pets are not supposed to eat, food sensitivities/allergies), ingestion of foreign bodies or exposure to toxins, bacterial overgrowth in the gut, problems in the stomach, intestines, or even problems outside of the intestinal tract/stomach including pancreatitis, kidney/liver problems, metabolic disease (diabetes,etc), endocrine diseases (thyroid or other hormone problems), etc. So if the problem doesn't resolve after a broad spectrum dewormer I would advise what I described above. A thorough history and physical exam with resultant diagnostics such as fecal tests, blood tests, and more imaging studies such as x-rays/ultrasound to try to determine what is going on. Good luck with Findik. I hope this resolves quickly with little effort.
