Hi Mishka...I am very concerned about these symptoms in your baby, especially considering the length of time and her age.

There are several things that can cause an older pet to vomit and refuse food. The fact that she is so tired is also very serious.

***I strongly urge you to have her examined by a licensed veterinarian near you. The doctor will probably recommend various tests (including xrays and bloodwork) to help find out what the true cause of this illness is.***

PLEASE CALL AND SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT ASAP SO THAT YOU CAN GET SOME MEDICAL HELP FOR YOUR DEAR PET.
