Cat experts?

Question

Hi, my Cat has been really sick the past couple days.
It started with the canned tuna I gave her. She threw up tuna twice. 
Then she just sat in a ball on the counter, and wouldn't eat her food, and wouldn't drink any water. I made sure food and water were fresh, as I always do. She's been gagging since then, this watery sounding gag, but doesn't throw anything up.

(I gave all three of the cats the tuna, add only she threw it up.)

We went out of town for 2 days and my mom came over to feed them Saturday, she said my sick kitty ate a little and was purring when she picked her up.
We got home today, Sunday, and her food was barely touched and she looked sleepy. She's moving around a little more, but hasn't eaten but just a few bites. She's drinking some water now. 
And she's still gagging, and nothing's coming up. It sounds liquidy, but it never comes out.

I'm wondering if anyone has any idea or advice, as we are broke and my husband just startedd a new job and hasn't gotten his first check.

Answer

Is all you feed her tuna? And when you say tuna do you mean cat food or tuna people eat from them store? Because tuna people eat isn't actually very healthy for cats in large doses. But check her gums. Make sure they are pink. If they are white being her to the vet ASAP because she is dehydrated. It sounds like maybe a respiratory type infection and she should get a vet visit anyway.

Answer

She's doing better! Acting completely normal now!

Answer

I'm a veterinarian. Do not give your cat tuna! It is very unhealthy for cats and can make them very sick.

Answer

I am no expert, but my cat has had similar behavior before, push fluids. Use an eye dropper and force them to drink. I know that sounds bad, but you don't want them to dehydrate. I gave my cat pedilite mixed with water. 50/50, too much sugar will upset their tummy. The pedilite has electrolytes. You can also buy catgrass seeds for cheap and it grows in days. It's safe for them to eat. Try different food. I don't give my cat the tuna, but drain the liquid onto his food when we eat it. Google always helps me. I don't know what meds you can give them, but there should be a list of cat safe meds. Call a vet, some are helpful without having to bring your pet in. Good luck. Prayers for your fur baby.

Answer

Call your vet. And canned tuna isn't really meant for cats.

Answer

When my cat is sick I give her Laxatone. Clears out her system. She has trouble with hairballs.
If your cat stops eating and drinking she will be very dehydrated. Take her to the vet. Her kidneys can shut down due to no fluids. 
Had this happen to my cat. She had to stay at the vet for a few days for IV fluids. That was expensive! 
Good luck

Answer

Age? It could be the tuna or it could be the cat just getting sick from aging.
