So I'm just a bit worried, my 5 year old female cat Chloe threw up about 5 times after eating a couple treats a few hours ago. She ate her dinner like normal beforehand. The first time it was all food, and the following times were just bile. They happened in quick succession. Once she was done (and it was clear when she was) I opened up a new can of food and she ate it up. She played when I brought out the laser pointer and now she's relaxing by my feet (alert, not lethargic).
I should mention this isn't unsual for her- she's long haired (maine coon mix) and has been especially fluffy lately, I do my best to brush her but she's really sensitive along her back so I'm usually not able to brush her as much as I'd like. She's definitely thrown up like this in the past, and it usually ends with her doing it again some point in the night resulting in a large hairball.
The reason I'm worried is because she's had some health issues recently. She had a Pyometra surgery at the end of December and had a UTI (likely due to left over bacteria from the Pyometra) about a month later. She had follow up appointments and was cleared, her blood work last done around the middle of February looked good. I've witnessed her urinating recently, so I'm not worried about UTI. I think it's just a hairball, but I'm so on edge because of her past medical issues and with COVID-19 going on, I'm so worried about any of my cats getting sick and being unable to receive treatment.
So just to sum up, she vomited multiple times but is now eating, drinking, playing and relaxing as normal since 30 minutes or so after it happened. She has a history of vomiting like this due to being a long haired cat/ hairballs. Should I be okay to wait this out?
TLDR; I'm paranoid as fuck.
