All of my cats are on scheduled eating. Leo ate lunch at 1pm today (Authority wet). When I got home at 6pm, there was a LARGE pool of vomit in the bathroom, and a pool of clear vomit in the hall. I found Leo curled up in a ball in my closet.
I brought him out and held him on my lap to see how he responded. Usually he would kneed on me, instead he laid down and purred a bit. Then he vomited another large pool of clear, foamy liquid.
Less than an hour later, same thing again.
And an hour later, again.
I have an appointment at the vet at 9:30am. My question is, should I go ahead and take him to the ER vet now? I hate to over-react, but he is acting tired (not completely lethargic, I've seen worse in our other cat) and does not purr at all when I pet him.
ADDITIONAL INFO: He is 12 years old and had his blood panels done last month. Everything came back normal, if not very good for a cat his age. He does have a history of difficulty with hairballs. Once he had one that was about 9" and had to go to the vet to have it removed because it got stuck.
