sick Siamese

Question
I have an older Siamese when I got her she was already an adult, and I have had her for 6 yrs... last week I noticed that she was loosing weight.  Yesterday when I got home from work she was throwing up foam.  Today I noticed she still hasn't touched her food and she threw up a pile of liquid then moved and threw up foam...Any idea what is/could be wrong with her or how I can make her better?

Answer
Hi Kathy,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I had computer problems. She may have a throat inflammation. Sometimes cats will throw up phlegm, (the white foam). Take her to your vet and get her checked out. In the meantime I am giving you a recipe for something called kitty glop. It will help her put weight back on and is very easy for her to eat. I give it to all my sick cats. Good luck.

Ciao, Karen
