My 4.5 month kitten has been vomiting six times in the past two weeks, first started after we gave him some cat grass and had some hairball out. We thought that was normal plus at that time he was transitioning back to wellness canned food, so he might also have some issue with the adjustment. He then vomited three times during the rest of the week, he played right after eating and sometime he eats 3 quarters of a 6 oz can, so we really thought it was a combination of factors from food adjustment to eating too much and the symptom would go off soon. However, this week he vomited again, first time the dry food that hasn't been digested yet (we feed him both dry and wet and he has been on the same dry food since months ago) then some water today. This is how I'm starting to think it could be something else.
Kitten is a Maine coon weighing 7 lbs, perfectly active, eats well and nothing seems to be wrong with the stool. Vet also checked his heart and lung two weeks ago and they are both clear. He does have ringworm though. My questions are the following:
1. Could new food adjustment last as long as 2 weeks?
2. How much of it can be related to the cat grass that he had? To us everything seems to start with the catgrass, and he only had it once.
3. He has been having some eye goop for a while and we think it might be related to the URI he had 1.5 months ago. I started to give him some lysine the day before yesterday in prevention of another flare-up, could it be related to today's vomiting?
4. Based on my description, what could be the possibilities? Anything I should be worried about?
5. I have made an appointment with the vet on Monday, what do I need to know before going?
Many thanks!
