I just adopted a 1 year old cat. She was not eating, so I took her to the vet, and he said she had the flu and admited to so that he could give her pain medication. Well, she is home now, and is eating, drinking, and peeing and pooping in her litterbox. She is also very affectionate and is playing a little bit. However, she has been gagging every so often, along with the occasional sneeze. I already have two cats, and I have seen them gag and then throw up a hair ball, so I already know that this could happen. However, she is not throwing up anything. When I went into her room this morning (I have her separated from them still and am slowly introducing them), I saw that she had thrown up a clear liquid. I'm wondering if she is just smelling the other cats? Or, maybe the pain medication irritated her throat? (although I'm not sure if they gave it to her in ther throat, or through an iv). What do you guys think? She seems happy, but I read that gagging could be serious.

Open her mouth with one hand and look down her mouth if there's something stuck there. Probably nothing. Just n case its a hairball, give her some Petromalt and see if the gagging continues. Offer plenty of fresh water to help wash down any small irritant stuck in her throat. And oh... the vet would not give iv through the throat.
