My cat was throwing up a lot for about 4 days, and I took her to the vet, the 2nd day she had done it... she's about 5 months old, has 3 healthy brothers, they screened her for feline leukemia and something else I cant remember. Both were negative, they gave me Amoxyicilin (sp) and Nutrical to give to her. I have been, and she still vomited for 2 more days, but wouldn't eat anything. I had to put the nutrical on her paws for her to take it, and the medicine was a chore/still is... to give to her. She still continues not to eat, but instead she'll lick a little bit of gravy   off the cat food and then drink a little bit of water later. I worry about her sincerely, and I don't know what else to do. She was weighed in at the vet with 4.5 lbs. And I think shes lost a lot of weight since then. I pick her up and can feel every one of her little vertebrae. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Reply to Terri Riba's Post: Shes an outdoor cat, yes. But to my knowledge theres really no chance that she swallowed anything non food like... she only eats when i go out and feed her. And yes, I can get pedialyte and baby food. Easily.

Reply to Terri Riba's Post: Shes inside with me, but she only stays in for a limited time before she wants out and needs to go potty. I bring her into to give her,her medicine and to keep her content. But there are people in my house whom are allergic to her and won't let me keep her in overnight.
