My 2 year old cat is taking ciprofloxacin for an abcessed toothe that is to come out in a couple days. She just vomited and it appears there was blood in her stomach. Looked like pink saliva. Is this an emergency?

If this is the only time that she has vomited, she will probably be ok. You may need to stop her antibiotics if she continues to vomit, as this is probably what is causing the vomiting. Make sure that she is eating, often when antibiotics are given on an empty stomach it can cause stomach upset. You may want to call your vet tomorrow and see if they want you to continue with her current antibiotics or if they want to change her to a different one. The pink you see in her saliva may be blood which can occur if her intestinal tract is irritated.
