My cat Derby is a 3 year old female. Yesterday, she threw up several times (every time she tried to eat) and wouldn’t eat/drink. We gave her a little water with an oral syringe. She had a bit of diarrhea but otherwise didn’t poop or pee.
Last night, she threw up a thin, inch long bug wing. It was clear that she immediately felt better and started drinking on her own. It’s worth noting we don’t have any winged bugs out here that are toxic to cats, so that’s not a worry.
Today, she’s eaten about half what she normally does and drank like normal, but still seems a little bit tired. I’ve only seen her pee once and it was earlier tonight, about a tablespoon amount.
I’m torn between “yeah, she didn’t eat or drink yesterday, of course she’s not peeing/pooping a lot today,” and “oh my god she’s in danger.” Because she and my other cat choose to use the same litter box, I set up one of our security cameras facing the litter box to see if she goes to the bathroom. If she doesn’t I’ll call the vet of course, but what if she only goes a little? Or still doesn’t poop but pees? Or the other way around? Am I overreacting and she’s just recovering from yesterday?
