If she hasn’t had a broad spectrum deworming done , then I would request that. There is a parasite called Physaloptera that causes vomiting in cats and is very hard to diagnose, so I usually do a trial of the dewormer to see if it resolve. Also a chest X-ray to make she she isn’t coughing from feline asthma. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
