My cat threw up 6 times, is tired, and breathing shallow. What now?

I am sorry junior is not feeling well. I would try to get him to the vet as soon as possible. My concern with him going outside would be a possible exposure to a toxin. However infection (like an abscess), viral disease, bacterial disease and fungal can cause breathing issues. If you are unable to make it to a vet you can try to nebulize Junior by placing him in a bathroom- run the shower with hot water to create steam for him to inhale.

What a gorgeous cat! I am sorry he is not feeling well. Licking his lips is a sign of nausea. Even though he may not be vomiting today he is showing signs that he is still not feeling well. If he is eating (even small amounts) and drinking water as well as interacting with you, urinating, and defecating than he may be able to wait until Wednesday. However, if Michaleto's breathing continues to be abnormal at all to you this may be a sign that he is in pain or has some sort of disease of his heart or lungs. Any abnormal breathing - whether fast or hard - should be seen as soon as possible by a veterinarian. I hope he is feeling better soon.

This is an emergency and you need to take your kitty to a veterinarian or PetER right away. Respiratory distress is very serious and your cat will need a thorough exam, possibly oxygen, and supportive care. He is purring because he is ill and is trying to appease everyone around him. The signs of illness are very unspecific so please take your cat to the ER now.

Oh dear! I'm sorry to hear that Puppycat is sick. Unfortunately, this sounds like a serious problem. There are many things that can cause vomiting and lethargy, so it's hard to say what might be wrong without being able to examine him and run some tests. He may have a GI problem such as pancreatitis or an intestinal obstruction, a systemic illness like liver or kidney disease, a urethral obstruction (this is common in neutered males), or may have ingested something toxic. This does sound like it may be a life-threatening problem, so I would recommend taking Puppycat to an emergency clinic tonight to be seen. The veterinarian there can do blood work and x-rays if needed to help diagnose the problem and get him started on appropriate treatment.

Poor Floyd sounds like he's not feeling well! He sounds lethargic, and the shallow breathing can be a sign of respiratory problems, such as an infection or cardiac disease. I would have Floyd seen by a vet today for an exam, blood tests, a urinalysis, and possibly x-rays. The vet can diagnose what is causing his symptoms so he can be treated.

No, I recommend to have Harlem examined immediately. This could be an emergency situation. When pets suddenly develop a change in their breathing pattern, they need to be examined immediately. This is especially true for cats who can hide signs of heart disease and not have any murmurs or other clues on physical examine. Other causes include infection, asthma or fluid in the lungs. Have him examined right away. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.

I would err on the side of caution and get them seen today if you can, tomorrow, especially if they don't seem better. The vomitus looks like a hairball to me, but it's hard to tell. They may have overeaten, but unless that's something they already do, given the opportunity, I don't see that being as likely as something else, possibly getting into something they shouldn't have. Your vet will do an exam, possibly bloodwork, and maybe more//other diagnostics depending on what they find. Based on these results, your vet will have a better idea of what's going on and be able to recommend a treatment plan if needed.
