is this just a stomach flu that cats get?

Hi Crystal...if you suddenly changed cat food this can cause stomach distress (vomiting/diarrhea). However, at 12 years I would suggest considering a trip to the vet as senior cats are more prone to suffer from renal failure and hyperthyroidism, both which cause vomiting. Please give your vet a ring to make an appointment to have her examined soon.

Its not good. Any cat may throw up occasionally, but constantly is not a good sign. Take her to the vet for a checkup. It may or may not be something to worry about, but only professional advice is really going to help. Until you get your cat to the vet, I would keep her in, and make sure there's plenty of fresh water for her to drink.
The only other thing I can think of is if you have changed your cat's brand of food recently. I tried a certain new brand of cat biscuits with my 15-year-old cat recently, and she threw it up every time she ate it. Changed her biscuits again, and now she's fine.

Yes get her to the vet. I don't want to depress or scare you but my 16 year old cat got like this right before I had to put him to eternal rest. Hopefully yours won't be this serious. I took good care of my boy so don't let others make you feel bad. Like human health, things can suddenly go wrong with our best friends. Our animals. Best of luck. Let us know what happens. Will put on my watch list.

It many times takes time to return to a correct prognosis, your vet starts off out with a itemizing of available diagnoses and has to rule them out. follow this vet for somewhat and supply them a guess to resolve issues. while your vet mentioned "it incredibly is unusual, i does no longer have predicted him to get greater appropriate." He in all probability meant that given the lab outcomes, he does no longer have predicted the therapy to be sufficient for restoration, so the prognosis is way less sparkling decrease. i does no longer label him a quack merely yet. :) even with the actuality that, i won't be able to comprehend why he gave you a steroid injection. Did he say why he gave it? He ought to suspect inflammatory bowel ailment. Fluids and antibiotics sound precise on course even with the undeniable fact that. Why are you limiting fish intake? Did your vet inform you it became undesirable for his liver or is it because of the fact of all the mercury in fish? the recent foodstuff could have bothered him because of the fact weight loss application variations frequently could reason issues like abdomen upset or diarrhea. regrettably, specifically cases there are no sparkling solutions. if your kitty's liver values are greater desirable, ask you vet approximately putting him on a liver help supplement. one greater element. because your kitty has a tumor in his mouth, he could have others someplace else. perchance an ultrasound is so as to ascertain if it incredibly is your undertaking. i'm hoping your kitty is wonderful, perfect of success to you.

I do not know what is wrong without more information. If I were real worried I would take her to the emergency Vet, but if no one is open take her to the humane society, or my own vet in the morning.

Yes, you should be worried. Take her to the vet for a check-up right away. Take some of her vomit in a baggie if you can, the fresher the better.

If you love your pet you'll take her to the vet now. It's not normal for any creature to just throw up.
