Question
my cat of 4 years was just spayed (Monday) and is on an antibiotic for a urinary infection..is it normal for her to throw up her food after she eats..she has never done this before..

Answer
Hi Tracy,
Having a cat spayed will not cause her to throw up. Either she is having a reaction to the antibiotic, or she could have a hairball.  If she does this after every meal, then you need to have her checked to rule out a blockage. If she only does it ever now and then, then that's pretty normal.

God Bless,
Becky
