Luna is throwing up every day atm

Thanks everyone!

I called my vet yesterday, and she gave me some Gelusil, and recommended Hill's i/d. She also thinks that a hairball could be the problem, so I hope the Petromalt will work sooner or later.

Kim, Hill's canned food is available here, but I haven't seen the hairball version yet. I will ask my vet.

HI Kirsten!! Has the med helped Luna and has she stopped vomiting? The vet should not let the vomiting go on too long, Luna can get dehydrated!!

No vomiting yesterday!

And I don't think that there's a risk of dehydrating at this point. The last week, Luna has puked "only" once per day (always in the evening), and she's eating and drinking normally.

Sorry to be a little late on the response here Kirsten, but I'm glad to hear that it isn't anything serious with Luna and that she is doing better.

My guys always throw up the liquid form a day or 2 before the actually hairball comes out.

Kirsten I hope Luna has managed to shift the hairball and is now feeling much better.
Colette doe s fair bit of liquid vomiting and eats lots of grass - but she's contantly grooming Cleo as a sort of comfort thing I think, so she's hard at work with that tongue and needs to get rid of it somehow. She's always been a "chucker"

Since I started feeding her Hills Science diet Furball Senior dry food some time ago (alongside her usual wet) she has been coping much better.
I haven't seen the wet (canned) version, but then as it's vet-supplied I haven't asked, didn't know about it.
The other thing and I'm sure you know this, is a little olive oil or similar mixed into the food?

Hope you're feeling better Luna!
