    UpChucking

    Cindy upchucked all her kibble around 2 p.m. today (she had eaten at 6 a.m). I thought she was just distressed since I was gone for 2 hours. She came running to see me all excited and 5 minutes later upchucked.

    I gave her rabbit/rice tonight because it's very easy on the tummy. No dry kibble (Nutro). She upchucked at 8:45 p.m. She ate dinner at 5 p.m. This time is was all liquid which appeared to be the break down of the can food.

    I was not going to give her a snack tonight and let her tummy settle, but she is crying for food. I gave her spoonful which she ate in no time. She is not being free feed but on a schedule 2 x a day and a treat at night. She has increased her appetite in last week, maybe her tummy cant handle that much in a day (1/2 cup kibble plus 1/2 can a day). Cindy is not a gobbler but will finish eating what you give her within 5 minutes.

    I would think a gobbler would throw up sooner than 5 hrs after eating.

    I checked her tummy (felt it) and she didnt have tenderness. She is acting ok. She just jumped up on the top of icebox to explore. Only thing I didnt do was take her temp.

    The only other time she throw up was first coming into the house and I chalked it up to being late feeding her one morning. Usually did it between 5-6 a.m. it was 8 a.m. that morning.

    She has been eating ....... Nutro can and PetSmarts brand which both are very good quality. Lamb/Rice.... Fish/Rice and Dry Nutro.
    Tonight I gave her rabbit/rice from Natures Receipe (it's specific to sensative tummys).

    She hasnt gotten into anything she should not of been in.

    The local vet she has been seeing only in 1/2 day on Fridays.
    Our regular vet is in all day. I will access things in the a.m.

    Gray hairs time LOL

    When I took Tabitha, her vet records said she had a barfing problem and that was one of the reasons why they had her on IVD (prescription canned stuff). I gradually weaned her off the stuff and she is now on a teaspoon of canned Iams and a half cup of Science Diet Sensitive Stomach a day (all my cats are). There have been absolutely NO vomiting problems at all. Maybe trying a sensitive stomach formula may help. When she barfed, was it whole food?? If so, she probably ate too much too fast.

    Glad to hear Cindy had a good night! Is it possible it was just a stuck hairball?
    Gray hairs time
    Amazing how these little creatures can do that to us.

    Mushed whole food first time (after 8 hrs from eating)
    Liquid the second because she had can only (after 5-6 hrs from eating).
    She is eating very good food (Nutro is formulated for sensative tummys and PetSmart stuff also). The Natiures Receipe is specific to sensative tummys.

    It could of been hairballs, she does groom allot. Having not had her all that long it's a trial and error situation as far as "whys and hows' etc.
