So, my Rex has been puking a lot lately ... but it seems to just be liquid, like water or bile. I don't know what to make of it and I don't think it's healthy. Otherwise she is completely normal ... eating well, playing, her usual self.

Should I be worried? Is she licking something she shouldn't?? We have bamboo around the house, should she not be eating that? We don't leave anything else out ... maybe it's a cleaning product?
I know she likes to lick our sinks and drink from the toilet ... (lovely, I know) ...

I hope she's alright!!! I wanted to get some advice here before I called up the vet ... just in case you guys have heard of it before ...

Thanks!

Hi There,

Vomiting can be caused by many different things, and any animal doing a lot of it needs to be seen by a vet. I think you should take your baby in ASAP.

It's impossible for anyone, even a vet, to determine what is going on with your cat by reading your post. An exam, as well as labwork, needs to be done to determine the cause of the vomiting. An x-ray may also be helpful.

Whatever the cause, chances are that it is treatable, and it's always best to try to catch problems in the early stages. With a lot of vomiting, dehydration is a possibility, and a cat can go downhill rapidly if this happens.

Take care, and please let us know what the vet says.

Yes, do get to the vet. Thru the years, clear or bile vomit in my boys has been tied into urinary tract infection, blocked stools, etc... Any number of things can cause this and need to be checked soon as many are treatable... Vomiting can also mean more serious things... It is hard to tell without a vet visit. Please do so soon as it may very well be treatable but can turn serious fast...
