I have never had a pregnant cat throw up before or during labor. I wouldn't take her food away. I think the only sure way to know whether she's in labor or not is if she's actively contracting.
I'm surprised he didn't show you.. I'm also a nurse and have had to do sub-q's and tube feedings several times before with my fosters and my own cats. The humane society had no problem showing me how to do it and when my own cat needed sub-q's my own vet showed me again. It's not that tricky of...

I'm so sorry you're going through this and I'm sending prayers for the remaining four that they can kick this!! Little does that vet know how determined and passionate you are to save these little ones. Sending prayers and good vibes your way!!!
