Hi there,
My issues are with my lovely cat Murphy, and as you will see below, there are a few factors. Just looking for some advice:
1) She is 10 years old and has always been on a grain free diet. I feed her Taste of the Wild dry food, and sometimes a little Wellness wetfood, but she really only take a nibble of the wet food. I have never been able to get her on an all wet food diet. she will just not eat, and i cant let her do that. According to my vet, after several days of boycotting the wet food, it can be bad for her health to have no eaten at all, so if she boycotts the wet food for too many days, i needed to put her back on the dry
2) when she was about 1 or 2 years old, she had a habit of eating things (she still does sometimes) and twice she got into my clothes and ate bra straps of mine. The first time she passed it, but the second time, she had to have a big surgery to remove the strap since it was wrapped up in her intestines.
3) She has always been a puker. I've never known if it was related to her surgery years ago. My vet has always known about and and she's always had a clean bill of health. Her last full check up, including blood work, was done last August of 2016. she was fine. She acts fine and normal all of the time, and after she pukes.
4) She pukes mostly in the mornings. Sometimes it is white foam (which i understand can be from if they havent eaten all night) but more often than not, it is regurgitated food. It's full pellets of her dry food, as if she didnt even chew (do cats chew?) or digest. She vomits multiple times a week after eating breakfast only.
5) I recently got her raised bowls, which have not changed anything
6) sometimes she chomps on plants (non-toxic ones), she chomps on my fake xmas tree, which i am about to take down. this AM, she was eating garlic skin that was in a bowl on my counter, which is really bad and made her super sick today so she vomited many times.
Some theories:
A) maybe she has a sensitive tummy
B) is it the stuff she eats around the house, and why does she do this? she has been like this her whole life and loves to get into things
C) is it the food?
D) its probably a combo of all of the above?
What do i do? She is driving us crazy because she pukes ONLY on our rugs. and, i feel bad for her because puking is no fun. Are there any good foods out there that i should try instead?
