He is a a year old. He has had two bladder infections in the last 6 months both treated with antibiotics, as it appeared successfully. This AM he started vomiting clear/white emesis and is hidding under a dresser. He is usualy overly friendly to a fault, follows you around always under foot. In high school my mother had a cat with the exact same symptoms that eded up dying of renal failure.
Please only answer if you have had an experience with this or have formal training in veterinary medicine. Thank you in advance. Yes, he has an appointment today at 1:15 with his vet.

Yep!!! It could be renal failure coz intermittant vomiting with ckear/white emesis confirms it is suffering from systemic infection probably, renal failure.
As I am a practicing vet, I can throw few words on this condition-
The most common causes of vomiting are inflammatory bowel disease, kidney disease and hyperthyroidism, but other disorders can cause this problem, as well. Cholangiohepatitis, pancreatitis, cancer, kidney disease, and heartworms. There are many other causes, including parasites, mechanical obstructions (hiatal hernias, esophageal strictures, etc) and infectious diseases.
I hope you might got good opinion from your vet now.
Good luck with all of this.

I'm a Vet Tech, seen lots of cats in renal failure.
I've never heard of the vomiting though. It might be something else.
Has he peed within the last 12 hours or so? Male cats get blocked and can't pee. If he hasn't gone in awhile, don't wait for your appointment, call and tell your vet you think he may be blocked and they will have you bring him right in.
Vomiting can ge a sign of intense pain.
I think you should wait and see what the vet says. Try not to worry, renal failure is treatable and he may live a little while longer.

I sympathize with you. My cat Fred experienced kidney damage as a result of a UTI that could not be controled.
He too experienced vomiting of mucous. The vet said it was due to an upset stomach. The vomiting went away once we started treating him with sub-q fluids. THere are things that can be done if you take him to his vet ASAP. Your kitty is still quite young and that should help. My Fred is four years old.
Your vet can put him on IV fluids for two or three days which will clear out his body of the toxins. THere are also special diets that you can put your cat on. My Fred gets daily sub-cuteanous fluids that help prevents dehydration. There are online support groups for people living with a CRF cat.

The dry nutrition/kidney compromise link is now somewhat being taught in a number of of vet colleges! by using my rescue paintings, I meet/communicate over with a astonishing type of vets, some new some old. The vets in basic terms out of school (and those like my personal vet who attend 4 weeks + of conferences a year) are literally truly pushing an all canned eating routine, and kidney compromise is between the excuses. There might want to be analyze accessible, or they does no longer be training this now. i am going to ask my vet the subsequent time i'm there, which for sure will be too previous due for this question yet no longer for destiny ones. like countless issues, I doubt there is any solid "data" notwithstanding it truly does make sense. when we stray from the eating routine that Nature designed cats to devour, then there are certain to be effects. I somewhat have 2 kidney compromised cats (one is elderly, one has a start disorder and his kidneys are way too small) and both are on a non-prescription all-canned eating routine. advantageous protein, and no by technique of-products. Vet's orders! And their kidney numbers when you consider that swithching to the all-canned have better, as has the certain gravity of their urine.

The poor kitty is obviously very ill and I am glad he will go the vet today. Complete renal failure would be unlikely in such a young cat and hopefully it will turn out to be something readily treatable and he will recover.

My cat has end stage renal failure which is common in siamese cats. He vomits occasionally and sleeps alot. His fur isn't as nice and he has lost lots of weight. I'm glad you are seeing your vet. Moo-chi is 17 years old I know it is hard to see such a young cat sick. Good luck!
