Hello Everyone!
I have a 5 yr old female calico cat named Button. Maybe once every 6 weeks or so, she will vomit up a hairball. As soon as she gets it out, she is playful and hungry and goes about her day as normal.
This morning, around 5:30 am, I woke to her throwing up. I expected it was a hairball since she had not had one for quite some time. This is the only time she has ever thrown up, just from hairballs. There was a small little hairball, and the color of her vomit was the same as it always has been. But, she was not her usual rowdy little self. Her little eyes look like she doesn't feel good and she won't eat or drink. Then maybe 4 hours later, she acted like she was going to throw up again but just vomited a very small dab of white foamy substance. Now, several hours later, after she has slept most of the day and looked out the window, she vomited a little dab of yellowy foamy substance.
I have taken her to the water bowl but she just doesn't want any. I know I need to get her to drink.
I keep her in the house 100 % of the time. She has never been outside except in her carrier when we would go to the vet for shots and etc.
My vet is gone till Monday morning, but her little nose feels cool to the touch. When I hold her, she purrs, but not as loud as normal. I'm wondering if maybe there is a bigger hairball that she just can't get out? I give her hairball prevention treats and also the paste in the tube.
She is my baby and I just don't want her being sick and not do anything.
Please forgive the long post, and I do appreciate any help or advice you might give me!
Thanks So Much!
