Cat help! Watery vomit.

I'm kind of freaked out - my cat just started howling like he was in pain then pretty much projectile vomited very very water brown all over the floor.  There was a LOT of it, and there was something like a hairball (it really looked like a cat turn, actually) in it.  

Do I need to call the vet NOW?  Should I wait and see if he does it again before calling?  Has anyone experienced this?  

I'm really worried about him.  He seems OK, just like he doesn't feel good.

Thanks!

Re: Cat help! Watery vomit.

  • I would go to the vet and bring a fecal sample if possible.
  • Is your vet open on Sunday or would you have to go to the e-vet?

    How is your cat's appetite? Is your cat drinking? How about pooping and peeing? What time was the last meal, or do you free-feed?

    Sometimes cat actually do vomit feces and this could be a serious problem, like a blockage. If you do go into the vet, I would take whatever the solid object is that the vat vomited. Can you see fur in it?

    They aren't actually open today, but I may give them a ring in the morning.  He seems fine right now - sleeping.  He's got a fine appetite, drinking lots of water.  I think he's using the litter box regularly - I'll keep my eye on him to make sure.  I already tossed the thing he threw up, but maybe I can find it in the garbage.  My DH got a better look at it than I did, so I'll see if he thinks it was hair.

    Thank you!
