Vomiting
Lethargy

Jeze is 12 and is an outdoor/indoor kitty. She doesn't know she is feline and was one of the pack of four with the three dogs in my house. She spends more time in than out but last night with all the storms she must have kept dry or I was hoping she kept dry. I slept none. It never let up so she was out from 3:00pm yesterday until this morning at 10am. She came in and I knew as soon as I saw her she was exhausted. She is ALWAYS inside before 9pm per her clockwork routine. When she came in she started growling red flag at my baby Jasper who is 11 months and the 1st reminder she was feline since she became my baby. He was an unexpected gift and only youngster in my pack of seniors. Jeze who has an appointment Monday because her appetite has not been satisfied for almost 10 days. She doesn't get full and I free feed so the other day when she ate her can, then Jasper's and was knocking the bowl dry stays in off the table because it was empty i called the vet. I've checked her poop I can't see any worms but I went ahead and made her an appointment for Monday on Tuesday past. She has not even cared about eating reg flag. I tried giving her a delectable treat but was what I thought so exhausted she barley lucked it. Another red flag. But her eyes look weak and about 10 minutes ago she started throwing up yellow bile. She still hasn't bothered to eat or drink. I've brought water to her in my bedroom and food she is almost lethargic but being out for 16 hours I figured she'd be tired

It sounds like Jeze has been having a tough time lately, and her symptoms are indeed concerning.

Given her age and the severity of her symptoms, it's crucial to monitor her closely. While waiting for her appointment, there are a few steps you can take at home to help her:

Firstly, ensure she stays hydrated. Change the water frequently, and place the water in several places.

Secondly, keep her in a quiet, comfortable space where she feels safe. This can help reduce any stress she might be experiencing.

Thirdly, try offering small amounts of bland food, such as plain boiled chicken or a bit of wet cat food, to see if she shows any interest. Avoid giving her any treats or rich foods that might upset her stomach further.

Given that she hasn't eaten or drunk much and is showing signs of lethargy, it's crucial to get her checked out as soon as possible. These symptoms can escalate quickly, and early intervention can make a significant difference.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.
