Whiskas isn't a very good quality dry food to be honest, too many animals parts in it


Have you seen any furballs at all?. Jack didn't start coughing them up until he was a year old.

Make sure Flash is drinking or she'll become dehydrated, but if the vomiting has been happening for more than 24 hours i would take her to the vet because she might need something to settle her tummy, i know Sophie did when she had a tummy upset. She was giving a paste basically like the probiotic drinks we have.

Will keep an eye on her

If she's still vomiting i would still take her to the vet for a check up to be sure. If it is hairballs they'll more than likely give you a tube of Laxitone to help get rid of them, but i would look into changing their kibbles as well, and start getting them used to a brush to get the dead hair away

This is what my three eat now because the hairballs were terrible this year

I got worried about her this morning because there was a worm type string thing in her sick
so i phoned the vet this morning who said to take her straight in, she accidently ate a bit of ham last night and since then we noticed the worms so in a way im glad she ate it

so poor little mite has got round worm possibly from when we brought her her home, so they have both had a tablet well that was damn fun trying to get sooty to take it lol

so hopefully she will be ok in a few days

Is this the first vet visit they've had since you got them?.

When i've brought mine home the first thing i do is to take them straight to the vet to get a thorough check up, and they usually worm them before their injections. Sophie came from a vets surgery and Jack from the Cats Protection so i knew they had already been wormed etc..., but i still took them to my own vet to get checked over.

Are they getting their shots as well?.
