cat vomiting
2004-11-10 02:11:12
4 yr old neutered indoor shorthaired cat. He almost never vomited til 1
month ago. 1 month ago, he vomited frequently for 2-3 straight days, took him to the vet, they took blood tests and xrays, said he had what looked like "trapped gas", maybe blamed on food. After an enema, he came home and was fine until 5 days ago. Then he started vomiting again, 3-4 times per day, for 2 days. Took him to another vet, they took blood test, "upper GI" test with barium, and xray, said everything looked fine, no obstructions in intestines or stomach. Today, he vomits again 2-3 times. During these episodes, no fever and doesn't act lethargic or "sick" in any way, has no problem with thirst or appetite and has stable weight all his adult life at 15.5lbs, including now. What can cause this and be so undetectable? Is Irritable Bowel Syndrome a possibility?

How about hairballs? Is there any fur at all in the vomit? Occasionally one of my cats will vomit and just a little fur will be the cause. -- 8^)~~~ Sue (remove the x to e-mail) ~~~~~~ "I reserve the absolute right to be smarter today than I was yesterday." -Adlai Stevenson http://www.suzanne-eckhardt.com/ ***Revelation 22:12*** ICQ: 349878998 http://www.intergnat.com/malebashing/

Some cats are allergic to grains, or different things in food. You might
try feeding a different type. My vet suggested trying a "natural" cat food with our cat, one without artificial stuff and with fewer ingredients. We eventually ended up with IVD, a prescription allergy food. He had pancreatitus -- was detected by ultra-sound. She also thought he could have IBD in conjunction with everything else going on with him.
