We have a 2 year old cat that has been having bouts of reoccurring vomiting for the past year.
Out of nowhere, she vomits up whatever food she's recently eaten and then continues vomiting every time she eats or drinks anything until we get an anti nausea shot from the vet.
This happens every ~2-3 months, seemingly randomly.
We've taken her to the vet, they've run blood work and checked her for diseases and everything has come up normal.
So far, we're working under the assumption that she has a food allergy of some sort. Her food history is as follows:
1. When we first got her she ate Exclusive, she was good on this for ~1 year
2. After a second round of vomiting, we were suggested to switch and went to California Natural, this worked for ~4 months then vomiting reoccurred
3. Science Diet Sensitive Stomach, this worked again for ~2-3 months
4. Hydrolyzed Protein food from vet - she never ate this consistently and vomited it up immediately
5. Instinct Grain Free Turkey Meal - she's eating this for ~3 months and just started vomiting again today.
We thought that it was a chicken allergy which is why we switched to the instinct and this has worked really well until this morning when she puked up a whole stomach of food.
The only other health issue she has is she sometimes scratches the bridge of her nose until it's raw. This had cleared up over the past 3 months, coinciding with the switch to Instinct food but has reflared up last week shortly followed by this vomiting.
If anyone has any thoughts about what we could do to manage this or cure it we would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your help!
