What would you do? Cat vomiting

[janelle]

Well he loves Science Diet but it doesn't like him. He throws it up. Same with the sensitive stomach Science Diet.

I think he would starve before he ate food he didn't like. I've tried different brands of canned food and he turns his nose up at most of them. I hate to go through all the different cat foods at the store. LOL

I use to be able to keep Science Diet out all the time in a continuous feeder and he was fine with only an occasional episode. I am wondering if he has developed an allergy to it and all cat foods. He is 7 years old and has just been having trouble this year.

I have the hair ball med and give it to him but I have to put it in his mouth with my finger. Otherwise, he won't lick it or eat it any other way.

I put canned chicken on my shopping list. That may be more nutritious for him.

Try the different vet types. Many cats prefer Royal Canin for flavour. You can always mix a bit of tuna in it to get him started, and slowly wean off.

How about a second opinion on the vomiting?

Thanks, I'll see if my vet has it.

Wet foods such as Hill's A/D and Royal Canin's Recovery RS ( especially the Recovery) have been found acceptable by our shelter cats who won't touch anything else...

See if you can get those from your vet. Again, I suggest seeing another vet for a second opinion.

Canned chicken is like canned tuna.. okay as an occasional treat but NOT good as a regular diet for a cat. It does not contain the nutrients that cats absolutely require for good health.
