Nahla began to vomit some solid food last night - noticed a hairball and didn’t think much of it since she stopped. This morning she’s been vommitting all morning. She stops for a few moments then does it again. All she has is foam at this point.

It sounds like Nahla might be experiencing some gastrointestinal discomfort, which can often be caused by factors such as hairballs, dietary indiscretion, or irritation. Since she's been vomiting foam multiple times a day, it's important to address this promptly.

To help Nahla at home, you can start by giving her stomach a break. Withhold her food for about 12 to 24 hours, but make sure she has access to fresh water to prevent dehydration. After this fasting period, you can gradually reintroduce food by offering her small amounts of a bland diet, like boiled chicken, or a special gastrointestinal diet recommended by your veterinarian.

While you're doing this, keep a close eye on her for any additional symptoms such as lethargy, diarrhea, or continued vomiting. These could indicate a more serious issue that might require veterinary attention. Since you've noticed a hairball, it might also be helpful to use a hairball remedy or switch to a diet designed to reduce hairballs.

If Nahla's vomiting continues or if she seems distressed, it's important to consult your veterinarian. They can perform a thorough examination to rule out any underlying conditions and provide the appropriate treatment.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or need further assistance. Thank you.
