What to look for in cat food.

[krazyaboutkatz]

I had to post this when I recently found a thread in which people were noticing their animals were getting very sick after eating the brand Nutro. I'd been giving this to my cat, (the Senior formula) for about two years thinking he was getting superior or at least good enough nutrition. Well I started to notice an unsettling pattern, near the last quarter of the bag he, Gizmo, would start to vomit up his food quite often. He's always had a sensitive stomach (he's a Persian) and I at first attributed the vomiting to his sensitivities. I also considered that maybe the food by that point was 'stale'?... Then with this latest bag, near the last THIRD of the bag, he really started throwing up much more it seemed. Then this past week there was a crisis where I thought he was seriously ill, unfortunately on a Sunday morning when the clinic I go to was closed, he actually brought up some watery blood which sent me into an extreme state of horror. Then amazingly enough within minutes he WANTED food. Thereafter he kept it down. Oh! how could I forget?! At that point I had suspected the Nutro and had purchased another dry food the night before.

So has anyone else noticed a problem like this? I thought he had swallowed something, had an obstruction, cancer etc. But changing the food seems to worked.
Sorry for the long-winded post!
PS If his behavior had continued I would have had him taken to an emergency vet.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope that he'll be okay. I used to feed my cats Nutro a long time ago before my cat Storm had urinary tract issues and became blocked. I'd call the company if I was you. So what brand of food are you feeding him now? He may still need to see a vet just rule out any kind of obstruction.
