I would at least call the vet and let them know she might have eaten plastic tree needles. If she did eat them, she might have an obstruction and that's why she keeps throwing up everything she eats. Here are some of the symptoms listed:

Gastric foreign body in cats - what to watch for

# Sudden loss of appetite
# Vomiting
# Excessive drooling
# Abnormal bowel movements (wrong color, consistency or amount)

I would suggest taking your kitten in. Something is obviously wrong and even tho she is bouncing back after a bit, she is still obviously having trouble. I think the vet needs to do a more extensive exam to rule out as much as possible. I hope your kitty is okay.

Its hard to know when to go to the Vet. I do try to fell around to get a sense of how uncomfortable they are...

I probably wouldn't go to the Vet for isolated incident of vomit and/or diarrhea. I'd probably try some pumpkin first. As long as the furby is still eating, drinking, peeing and pooping, I'd probably wait a couple days.

But if eating, drinking, or eliminating stops, then I would go, right away. But that is not something you can detect right away, its takes time to observe.

Vet, vet, vet....

The symptoms you mention are classic symptoms of When To Take Your Cat to The Vet. Remember that cats are stoic, and by the time they show symptoms, they may have been sick a long time.

Do you have plants, or anything toxic in the house? Did the vet do a blood screen the last time she was sick? You should get blood work under these circumstances.

Let us know what happens.

I think we all know when they need to go to the Vet. You get that gut feeling. Throwing up that much and diarrhea, she has to be dehydrated. Something is wrong.

I agree ... I tend to err on the side of caution than not. Throwing up and tthen diarrhea needs to be looked into.

Yes, last time she was sick they did blood work and didn't find anything abnormal. She seemed fine yesterday afternoon. She was playing like crazy and eating like a little pig and then I left for 2 hours and came back and she would just lay on the floor and stare at me. SHe stared at me for about 2 hours straight. Like she was trying to tell me she didn't feel good and wanted me to make her feel better. I petted her and picked her up and she didn't seem to mind. Didn't purr though. she followed me around the house and I called my mom's friend who is a vet tech and explained her symptoms and she said she probably had an upset stomach. My kitty laid in the room on the floor (in cat pose where they tuck their feet under them) the whole time I was on the phone. She slept while I talked. I took her to bed with me (nightly ritual) but she wanted to sleep under the bed instead of on it. Tried to get her to eat or drink but she wasn't interested. She did pee though. So I didn't think she was dehydrated. About an hour later she threw up and then had diarhea. After that she was her old self and cuddled with me on the bed and purred.

This morning she was not interested in food at all but did drink some water and peed again. I called the vet as soon as they opened and have an appointment for her this afternoon so we'll see what they say. Thanks for everyone's advice!

Please let us know how she makes out, o.k.?

We are back from the vet and the good news is that my kitty didn't eat anything off of the xmas tree. Bad news is she has an intestinal bacteria that is contagious to both my other cats and us! She has an antibiotic and something to calm her stomach. She ate a very small amount of food when I brought her home. I'm keeping her in my bedroom away from my 3 other cats so hopefully they don't get this too. She's not happy being stuck in the bedroom but for the most part is ok.

I'm glad that you at least know what it is ... and can treat it.

Sending best wished that you and the rest of your family and fur balls don't catch it, and that she has a speedy recovery!

Wow! Make sure you wash your hands, a lot! I'm glad you took her in and found out what the problem is. I hope she gets better soon.

That's great news! Hope the rest of you didn't get the bacteria.

Just wanted to report that my kitty seems to be doing much better. Last night I let her out of the bedroom for a few hours and she was running around the house like crazy. Playing, jumping around tossing her toys into the air. So far my other cats seem fine and every time I let the little (sick) one out of the bedroom I get rid of all food and water so she can't eat or drink something and then my other cats eat or drink after her and catch this bug. She is eating rather normally now and demands her food in the morning and evening. She hasn't thrown up or had diarhea since we returned from the vet's. They gave me something to calm her stomach but so far she hasn't seemed to need it so I'm just giving her the antibiotic. She is a totally different cat than she was two days ago so I am glad my baby is feeling better. Thanks for all the support. I appreciate it!
