Hi there ! My kitty came back from the vet hungry and stressed and while I went to get her food she opened a bag with my other cats vomit in it and are about Half of it . The vomit was from 3 hours earlier. I don't know if she ingested any of the plastic bag it looks like it was scratched open . It's possible she may have ingested some tissue that was in there . Should I be concerned ? Thank you

Yes, it can be the food even though your other cat is ok. Each cat will react different to a diet change, and it sounds like this diet change may be upsetting Frosty's stomach. I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps. I recommend withholding food for 12-24 hours, then feeding a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food or on the bland diet, she stops eating, becomes lethargic, or she continues to have blood in her stool, I would have her seen by a vet.
