My 3-year old male domestic shorthaired cat Boaz has been vomiting and vomiting off and on over the last 3 weeks. The first week, he vomited almost once a day. Now, over the last 2 weeks, the vomiting has been slightly less frequent, but still recurring too much for my comfort. He used to vomit once every month or two, usually a hairball issue.
What's causing him to vomit so often now? I really don't want to take him to the vet; I want to make sure I've exhausted all possibilities of treating him at home first.
I've been adding to his food (and I'll do it more often now) a teaspoon of canned pumpkin and coconut oil to help with digestion and hairball control and black charcoal powder to draw out any poison he might have in him. He hasn't lost his appetite. He runs around, spunks out and plays like a normal cat; if it wasn't for the vomiting and occasional diarrhea, you'd never know there was anything wrong with him. Is it IBD?
I also add a third of a teaspoon of diatomaceous earth to his breakfast each day as a general dewormer.
Any advice you could provide is much appreciated!
