What are you feeding him  before and after the vomiting episodes?

Have you checked to see if the furball is actually getting into something?

How often are the episodes and how long do they last?

Did the vet do an ultrasound to see if there is a mass or other possible
problem?

The problem needs to be further investigated. He may have inflammatory bowel
disorder.

Hi Deet,

You might want your vet to refer you to an internist vet. You normally
need a referral to get in to see them, but seeing one saved our cat's life.

Your cat could be developing food allergies or have IBD, like was
already suggested. Our cat had possible IBD but was too sick to have a
biopsy, he also had pancreatitus. The vet suggested a food with no
grains or normal meat (like chicken or beef,) because common ingredients
in cat food could be causing the problem.

Bob was put on a prescription food that has one novel protein (like duck
or venison) and one starch (like peas or rice.) The brand we used was
IVD and it stopped his flare-ups. We also used a similar Waltham food,
which is a PetSmart brand, again with a prescription.

I would suggest though seeing an internist to get to the bottom of this.

Good luck!

Hi Deet!
I agree with all the posts about getting him checked out further by a
vet, most definitely.

One of my cats constantly threw up her food (and I did have those 3 and
4 AM missteps into a pile!) and I finally decided to change the food
all seven of them were eating to Science Diet for sensitive stomachs.
I mix that with either indoor cat, senior +, or sensitive skin and they
all seem to like it.  Plus, the one who vomited all the time hardly
does any more.  On occasion one of them will, but it is usually because
he/she has eaten too fast or they are getting rid of a hair ball.  That
is what worked for my babies.

The other thing you can do until you get to the vet is cut way back on
his servings to see if that may help a bit.  If you have the time, feed
him small servings 3 or 4 times a day instead of larger portions twice
a day.  And, of course, make sure he has plenty of water.  Mine are
spoiled with bottled water.  I first started doing that when I was in
Italy in 1988; the water there was not drinkable so I figured if I
won't drink it, neither will my cats.  My two Italian kitties have
passed away now, but I still give my babies either bottled water or
filtered water from the fridge.  If I can't drink the tap water,
neither can my kitties. :^)

All the best of luck to you!

I assume you have ruled out hairballs?  I would also try feeding less
food at a time.  I had a cat who would eat really fast and then throw
up.  Small portions more frequently helped.
