I don't know what's wrong with Scarlet but she vomited twice today. She hasn't eaten since 2 pm which is good I guess, if she is just going to vomit it back up. She slept in the corner under my desk for awhile today. If she isn't feeling better tomorrow, I will take her to the vet.
I hope she gets better.
