Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / June 2005Vomit Again HELP
Well since two days I have given Romeo his Diet Hill Prescription by a small handfull thinking like someone had syggested that he eats too fast. Yesterday all went well. This morning put about 15 kibles in hiw bowl. He ate some, drank some water then walked away and thew everything up, water and all. I hadn't noticed as I was outside but when I came back in he was eating what he had just thrown up. Like I said before it's just in and right out undigested. Guess this will call for another expensive vet consultation...PLEASE if anyone suggestes canned food give me a brand name. I tried a can of Canine SO diet and no can do. Is this a desperate case cause I'm becomming a desperate housewife.

Mine will eat it but don't like that as much as Fancy Feast (which has recently upgraded the quality, so it's not like cats' "junk food" any more).

Oscar will only eat, that I've found, Wellness Turkey and Wellness Salmon and Turkey. Everything else gets left in the food dish. But that doesn't mean your cat will eat it.

[quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Java Try a canned diet with a single, novel protein source such as Hill's Prescription Diet d/d. If the vomiting stops after the diet change, look for a regular commercial diet with the same protein source. Good luck, Phil Is he vomittting just straight food or is it bubbley? Sounds like he is getting gassy or something, wet food should help. He could have a stomach problem, like an ulcer. My car did taht but he's fine now and I put him on Waltham's SO Ph control wet food. Jacquie When I said I fed my cat a spoonful at a time I meant canned Wellness with a little dry Wellness when she had enough canned. After a few months the problem was over. -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. > Well since two days I have given Romeo his Diet Hill Prescription by a small > handfull thinking like someone had syggested that he eats too fast. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > SO diet and no can do. Is this a desperate case cause I'm becomming a > desperate housewife. Stop feeding him dry food. That is all you have to do. I'm not sure if your cat needs a special diet or not but my cat was on a renal diet for nearly a year before she started vomitting suddenly and almost passing out. After numerous inconclusive tests and hospitalisations I decided to take her off the diet and just give her normal food. She has been absolutely fine since. She still drinks and wees a bit more than normal so I give her meat in jelly to stop her getting so thirsty. It was initially thought she was CRF but she is not - however she does only have one kidney fully functioning - so it's now quality of life over quantity. She is MUCH happier and behaving like a normal cat - RUNNING about and playing etc... I'm convinced that the renal diet helped her initially but then was slowly killing her. If all else fails - just feed normal cat food. Forget the expensive diets and give the cat some happiness. I never realised just how depressed and unhappy and SCRAWNY my cat was until I stopped the renal diet. chas > I'm not sure if your cat needs a special diet or not but my cat was on a > renal diet for nearly a year before she started vomitting suddenly and [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > and give the cat some happiness.

You're really lucky, and I think you are onto something re the special cat foods, especially since they are usually dry foods. My cat gained weight on so-called "diet" cat foods. When I put her on canned exclusively she began losing, and is now about half-way to her ideal weight. I am having the same problem with my cat and I am trying to switch him to wet food (very slowly) and now I am noticing that his stool is getting very loose. Any suggestion on what to do? I don't want to have to deal with diareah now also. > > Well since two days I have given Romeo his Diet Hill Prescription by a > small [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Stop feeding him dry food.

That is all you have to do. I have been giving him Nutro complete care pouches which he absoulutley loves.

My cat Gnarly loved canned food but it always gave her the runs. There may have been a canned food she could eat without getting them, but if there is I never found it. I guess the only solution is to give your vet a call, and depending on what he/she says, keep trying different foods. > > > I am having the same problem with my cat and I am trying to switch him > to [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > > > > > > > Stop feeding him dry food. That is all you have to do. I just noticed your title -- "round pants?" Very funny :) I don't think I'd trust those pouches too much if they are what I'm thinking. Are they semi-moist chunks in a gravy? I have read somewhere that they contain more chemicals. Can you try a canned food?

Any suggestion on what to do? > I don't want to have to deal with diareah now also. I had the same problem with my now 9 month old kitten[1]. He's still a dry food hound, but he eats at least some canned every day. When I first tried to get him on more canned food than dry, he had loose stools for what seemed like forever. I just settled on the formulas of canned food that they (he and his littermate) would eat, and let nature take its course. His stools firmed up after a while, and I have to admit I thought they never would. During the transition I just made sure he had lots of fresh water available. It took a while, but everything is fine now. [1] This 9 month old "kitten" is now over 15 pounds. :) http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shambondow/detail?.dir=1f98 &.dnm=b2cd.jpg&.src=ph or http://tinyurl.com/cx3bq SignatureCheryl "The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath." - W.C. Fields > Well since two days I have given Romeo his Diet Hill Prescription by a > small [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Java My cat that vomits only does it with dry food. Try small amounts of a premium canned food. I noticed you mentioned that he ate dry food then drank water. It could be that the dry food expands and gives him an upset stomach. -Kelly >> Guess this will call for another expensive vet consultation...PLEASE if > anyone suggestes canned food give me a brand name. I tried a can of Canine > SO diet and no can do. Is this a desperate case cause I'm becomming a > desperate housewife. Hi Java, Whereabouts are you located? Are you in the U.S.? A few brands canned food that come to mind are Petguard, Wellness or Innova (although Innova can be kind of rich for some cats). In the meantime, you might try feeding your cat his kibble on a plate, to where it's spread out more, so he eats more slowly. Good luck, Lauren > Guess this will call for another expensive vet consultation...PLEASE if > anyone suggestes canned food give me a brand name. I tried a can of Canine > SO diet and no can do. Is this a desperate case cause I'm becomming a > desperate housewife. > > Java I haven't seen your earlier posts, so forgive me if my response is redundant or otherwise irrelevant. The only time I've had chronic vomiting with one of my cats is when he had swallowed some rubber. At one point, as it was passing through his system, he vomited up all food and water. I was finally able to coax down a little food mixed with water, one tablespoon at a time. I used Iams lamb and rice wet food. But, be sure there isn't some none food reason for his vomiting. Riley's rubber snack didn't show up on X-Rays or ultrasound. We were scheduled for something else (a barium x-ray? - I forget now) when the rubber finally finished it's trek through his system and appeared in his litter box. Not all foreign objects will go through without hurting the cat, so if you haven't already done so, I'd advise making sure there isn't something foreign in your cat's system. >Well since two days I have given Romeo his Diet Hill Prescription by a small >handfull thinking like someone had syggested that he eats too fast. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >SO diet and no can do. Is this a desperate case cause I'm becomming a >desperate housewife. Has he had an x-ray? Does he keep anything down, or does it come back up every time? Could he have eaten something that is blocking his system and not allowing anything to go down?
