Hi guys- I'm new to this forum- I have a question-
My 8 yr old calico has been vomiting white frothy bile and I noticed a tinge of blood mixed in with it. It is not alot of blood- it light pink in color and not heavy- or dark. She had been meowing at 3 in the morning and when I go to check on her she runs to her food bowl - but doesn't eat anything. I watched her eat after the threw up today- and she has been playing and running around normally earlier in the day. I'm worried because she won't let me touch her and she looks a little bloated. When she lays on her stomach she looks rotund and sounds like she is having a hard time breathing.
I'm really nervous because I've already lost one baby to cancer and I can't take loosing this little one to another fatal disease.
She has a look on her face that I remember from my dog- and she's been uncharacteristicly loving and snuggly- which tells me that there is something wrong. The problem is that we are broke and can't afford to take her to the vet- it costs a small fortune to bring your animal anywhere these days and the greedy vets in my area won't do anything for your animal for under 500 dollars a visit. (highway robbery)
This old girl is my old friend and I just need to know if this is an emergency-(I'll bounce a check if I have to) or if it is just related to stress or updet tummy.
