Over the past 4 days, Booger has been vomitting/spitting up. Not a whole lot though. And it's food and liquid, not hairballs. She is definitely keeping down more than she's expelling. She did this about 6 times over the past 4 days.

She's eating/drinking/pooping/peeing normally and is playful and in good spirits.

I was thinking that maybe she had a hair ball that is lodged so today I put her on Four Paws' Hair Ball Remedy. About 3 hrs after I gave it to her, she laid down to sleep and she's been mostly sleeping since. But then it's hot in the house this afternoon (our ac went out).

Any thoughts? Suggestions? Of course, if the Hair Ball Remedy doesn't stop the spitting up, I will take her to her vet.

its good she is still drinking. with any vomiting there is danger of dehydration.

Keep an eye on her if things dont clear up vets the best bet. Smile

I agree. If it continues, maybe a Vet visit is in order.
Poor Booger. I hope she is feeling better soon.

She's been eating and drinking fine. She hasn't thrown up in the past two days so I think it's passed. I think I figured out what caused it. Hubby and I have been washing our carpets and I think she walked across one of the soapy ones before we rinsed it and then licked the soap off her paws. That would make anyone throw up.

But she seems fine now

I'm pretty certain that's what happened. She's perfectly fine now and is even eating her Greenie kitty treats!
