Sent to Pet Experts January 07 12:30 AM

I recently went on vacation for just a couple of days and had my cat boarded with the people i adopt her from.Since she has been home (which has only been about 14 hours) she has not been eating or drinking and has thrown up phleum..i believe she also threw up prior at the boarding place, because i chunks of something in the cage which had silver stuff on them like fish skin. What Do I do, is she sick or is it just nerves?

Optional Information:
Age: 1; Female; Breed: tabby/cat

It is very possible that your cat had gotten into something or gotten some bad food at the boarding facility. It is unlikely that stress would stop her from eating now that she is home. It would be more likely that she did not eat while she was being boarded and has become debilitated. This can be VERY SERIOUS because you have no concrete way to ascertain how long she really has been without food. Cats that don't eat even for a day or two can develope life threatening liver issues.
If she continues to show these symptoms and refuse food I would get her to an ER vet ASAP

I would strongly suggest that you get her to a vet ASAP. You have no way of knowing what went on in that boarding facility or how she was treated or even when she has eaten last. Your cat is not ehibiting normal behavior and she is acting sick as well. It is in her best interest and yours to have her seen ASAP.
