Thanks, Tonya. That does make me feel a little better. She only vomited
right after eating. She then wanted to be fed again!
I have not fed her for about 10 hours now. I think I am going to wait until
the morning. So you think if she vomits after getting a little food in the
morning I should try reglan (that's probably what you were referring to and I
have it in the house from Simon) and see if that takes care of it?
Have you ever had a cat throw up every meal for 1.5 days? I am
actually not sure she threw up breakfast yesterday, and don't really think she
did as I never found any vomit from it, but she did throw up the night before
and last night and this morning after eating...

For right now I would try feeding her very small amounts spaced out and
see if she continues to vomit. Also, my vet told me it's not an
emergency unless they keep vomiting and vomiting after you STOP giving them
food altogether. Like when someone has the flu or whatever and they keep
vomiting and vomiting even when there's nothing left in their stomachs until
they are just vomiting bile.
It could be as simple as she likes her new food and is eating too fast or
too much. It could be a hairball. I would at least try waiting an
hour and giving her just a tiny bit and see if she throws that up. If
she does, but doesn't throw up again I would wait 2 hours and give her a tiny
bit again and see what happens. But unless she's vomiting and can't stop
I wouldn't take her to the emergency vet. They often do more harm than
good.
If she is continuously vomiting I would leave her off any food for a few
hours and see if she stops before taking her in. That's just my opinion,
but that's how I decide when vomiting is a problem here. Do you think
she could have eaten something she wasn't supposed to that's causing a
blockage of some sort?
I had one cat with kidney disease and ibd that would sometimes start
vomiting and not stop. When that happened the vet would just give him
some (? don't remember the name) to stop the vomiting. If you have to go
to emergency I wouldn't let them do much more than that unless they really
found something wrong and you had confidence in them.
hope this helps some.
