Yesterday I noticed my cat had thrown up (typical about once a month or longer) and as I was cleaning it up she went over to the corner of the bathroom and started squating to poop. I tried to grab her and she just started making the most awful squeaking noises so I let her finish. After that everything seemed normal and she went back to eating and then resting.
This morning she goes to the litter box, urinates and then starts walking around again checking out corners. As soon as she started to squat I picked her up and put her in the litter box. She was whining when I did but eventually gave in and pooped in the box. The poo was normal. She came out and I praised her and a few minutes later she started walking around the bathroom again checking out corners to squat. I started to approach her and this time she hissed, so I wasn't about to force her to go back to the litter box. She squated and then got up and a few seconds later poop fell out. She then went to her food bowl and laid down.
I stepped out to go let my labrador in and when I got back noticed she was back in the box. I immediately put my dog out of the room and when I came back she was throwing up again just outside her litter box. After she was done I noticed that she had pooped again in the box one last time. Again it looked totally normal. After she threw up it was like nothing had ever happened. She jumped back up to her food bowl and started eating like she was starving!
Okay so about a week ago I added "Missing Link" to her food which is basically an omega supplement. She's been picky about eating it but since I'm only giving half of the recommended dose, she eventually gave in and has been eating it okay. I'm stopping the supplement asap to make sure it has nothing to do with the situation over the last two days, although if anything it's supposed to help their digestion, not make it worse.
My cat had a check-up a week ago and everything looked normal, even all of her blood work. Does anyone know what might be going on or had anything happen similar with their cat? If she still does this over the next day or two I will definitely take her back to the vet, but I'm hoping things will get back to normal now that I've stopped the supplement. Any other ideas are greatly appreciated!
BTW, she is eating Science Diet S/D b/c she has FLUTD and it is the only food we found that works to maintain her urinary health. I've tried adding wet foods but she looks like she's going to vomit anytime she smells one. Her expression is priceless!
Thanks in advance!
