My cat vomits at least once a week triedwith different types of foodonly gets better with small portions?
Answers:
It may just be eating to fast but also switching food rapidly can upset an animals stomach. You also need to make sure that he didn't eat any foreign objects that may be causing a block. If you think this may be the cause get the kitty to the vet as soon as you can.
I used to have a cat who vomited up his food within minutes if he was over excited and ate too quickly. If that is not the case, and it:s happening too often, you should take him to the vets - he could have a kidney problem and it would be best to get it sorted
try a chicken n rice food, something like Nutro is actually some of the best stuff you can give ya cat, most shops offer it with a money back guarantee so if it dont work then quids in but it should, i recommended it hundredsa times n only had 2 complaints
TO MUCH FOOD TO SOON , SMALL HELPING'S LESS OFTEN
might be some sort of blockage they can swallow the most unusual things that could get stuck somewhere id take her to the vets.
It could be a few things, a food allergy, a throat/stomach (etc) issue, or it could simply be the cat eating so fast it comes it right back up.
I would take a trip to the vet to rule out the first 2 things, and see what food they suggest.
Otherwise, you may just have to feed the cat more often, in smaller portions.
My Cat Does Thats To. Its Normal For Them To Do That. They Could Also Have A Hairball TO.
My two cats were having the same problem and I thought they were eating their dinner to quickly and making a piggy of themselves. We took them to the vet and they did a whole bunch of tests and found out they both had sensitive stomachs. We had to put them both on a sensitive stomach diet which consisted of sensitive stomach biscuits. Since then no problems at all and one of them has started to put weight on that they didn't put on before. They are both much happier ***** cats.
Cats vomit naturally and if they are not doing so then you'll find they'll go out and eat some grass to make themselves do so! I think this is connected to cat grooming & the fact they swallow such a lot of their hair when licking it. If they don't regularly vomit then they can suffer from hair balls which can be painful and can also need removal by a vet if not coming up naturally.
I wouldn't worry about it - but if you are then go and get your furry friend an MOT at the local vets.
I would take him/her to the vet.
It might not be anything to do with the food, they might have a health problem
Constant vomiting is often the first sign of kidney disease. This happened to a cat of ours.
Worms can also cause this.
Seriously, get your cat checked out. If they get a clean bill of health then maybe the Vet can suggest an easy digestible food which won't upset their obviously sensitive stomach. But please get him/her checked out just in case its something more serious than that.
I mean, I you were being ill that often you'd go to the doctor wouldn't you?
First of all, changing cats food needs to be done in small portions. Dont just change it. You have to mix the old food with new food and gradually get rid of the old food.
Second of all, your cat may have food allergies. If you have
a "Pet people" store close to you they have good "holistic" foods for cats. Basically, it means there isnt alot of preservatives.
I have had my kitty for 17 years and he vomited most his life until about 2 year ago when someone told me about the "whole foods". I tried it and he NEVER vomits anymore..its so great.
Good luck.
try purina one for sensitive systems.$5 for a 3.5 lb bag at walmart.good stuff for cats that throw up.you can go to purinaone.com and get a coupon for a free bag
You don't give me alot to go on here..does she eat wet or dry food ? If she eats wet food, then each time you put in down for her, smear the food around the edges of the bowl as well as in it. It will take her longer to eat it and she is less likely to throw up. I had a cat that used to eat to fast and that's what the vet told me to do and it worked like a charm. Next..if it's not the food, then it's most likely a hairball. It's that time of year when pets shed their summer coat for a winter coat and because they lick themselves all the time, they ingest alot of hair. Give her petmalt (found in any pet store for hairballs) at least once per day. About an inch of it. That will work.
Are you sure your kitty is vomiting food? Could it be hairballs? If its food could the cat be eating to fast? If yes you may want to feed her/him smaller portions a couple of times a day or hand feed him/her, controlling the speed in which he/she eats. If it continues I would suggest taking her/him to the vet and having her/him checked out. Better to be safe than sorry. Good Luck KG
TAKE THE CAT TO THE VET THERE IS NO HARM IN A VET !! DUHHHH
Try a higher quality food. Most of the brands carried in local pet stores and grocery stores are similar in make up.
Your cat could have a reaction to an ingredient, like the by-products, fillers, sugars, and preservatives used in many foods.
Try one of the cat foods from http://www.frrco.com/121668 for a couple of months and see if that helps. You feed 1/2 as much as the usual brands because of the higher quality, and it comes out to only a few cents more per feeding. It is made to be non-allergic, has highly digestable ingredients, and no fillers and other nonsense that many animals react to. Make sure you follow the feeding guidelines on any cat food to make sure you are not over feeding!
Give wet foods only as a treat very limited, not daily. Maybe once a week. I avoid them all together because they cause an accelerate tooth decay.
This could save you from vet trips, as higher quality foods can limit the chances for urinary tract infections, allergies, some cancers, and ear infections.
I agree with Harry - I have an adult cat but they still only have small stomachs - give little and often
Might be a fur connection here! See a vet. Good luck.
You should only be giving he/she small portions. They have tiny stomachs, Fed often but little, also cats can be sick at times
my cat had this problem a while back, a trip to the vet diagnosed problems with hair balls. Try giving your cat Laxapast it helps to coat the hairballs so they pass through the cats system easier.
If your cat is a hunter worm him. thats one possible cause. cats should be wormed every four months if the catch things. try a different food. maybe the one you have got him on is too rich. i had mine on iams and that didnt agree with her at all. good luck hun
