    vomiting, cerenia, pepcid and antibiotics

    I do believe, its what you are feeding him, the Purina, many have had the exact same issues you now have.  I highly recommend you get him off the Purina. Royal Canin is not good either. It has grains in it too.   http://www.consumeraffairs.com/pets/ralston.html Here is a good site to read...

    vomiting, cerenia, pepcid and antibiotics

    I was not familiar with Cerenia, so I did a search for it. It is only "approved" for use in dogs, and its used for motion sickness, and should not be given for vomiting, unless the reason for vomiting is known.  The few articles I found, that it had been given to cats, the people said it made...

    If my 5 month old kitten has been de-wormed, why would he have such loose stools? Even after I quit

    If the diarea started, when you switched him from Blue Wilderness to Wellness, then I would put him back on the Blue Wilderness.  If you get a chance, you might want to do a search on Wellness, they have had alot of "issues" and "recalls", due to salmonella, which, would cause diarea.  If you...

    Strange Litterbox Behavior

    Usually, when they pee, they will just get in and squat. When they poop, they will dig, dig, dig. When they have a "bathroom" issue, they don't rationalize, like we do, like, oh, it hurts to pee, it burns when I pee, I can't poop, I am constipated. Instead, they blame it on the box. That box...

    If they are throwing up whole crunchies, of the dry food, it means, their tummy can't digest it. Could be a upset tummy, could be a blockage, like hairballs, or something she ate, or she may have gotten into plants or flowers, or something that is toxic to kitties.  Do you give her any people...
