This morning my cat vomited clear sticky fluid like saliva dripping from its mouth, threw up kibble once, later drank a little water and slept, then at 1pm vomited clear fluid still dripping-what’s wrong?
White mucus or saliva vomit usually comes from bitter substances, long hunger, poisoning, stress, hairballs, or severe pain. If saliva flows after vomiting, it may have licked something irritating (mosquito liquid, medicine, insects, chili); rinse the mouth with warm salt water and watch. Empty-stomach foaming means hunger; fast 4-6 hours then feed bland food and probiotics; see a vet if it recurs.

Stray female cat, unknown age, found with no visible eyeball; maybe it’s healed inside; no pus or inflammation; how much would treatment cost? I’m a student and want to adopt her if affordable
A missing eyeball may be from old injury with no function to restore, costing little if no pain. But a hidden eye needs a vet exam that costs more. Only a clinic can confirm and quote.
