Hey all, I'm brand new to posting on this site!
I work at a place that has a horse barn and we recently adopted kittens to stay there. One of them is currently living with me until he gets a little bigger. When I adopted him, there were no specifics in his chart about his age other than "kitten". My guess is that he is around 3-6 months old. My question is: he's been throwing up undigested food and sometimes just dry heaves (for lack of a better word). Today, instead of giving him any dry food, I have just given him wet. He still threw up, but there was less undigested food and more just liquid (I'm assuming stomach juices...ew). He is drinking water, playing like a kitten, using the litter box regularly. I've also started giving him something for hair balls, just incase that's what it is. After reading several forums paired with the fact that he's still eating and pooping, I'm starting to think (and hope) that it's just because he's eating too fast. Any ideas on what could be causing this? also, I'll take any ideas on how to get him to eat an all wet food diet slower! Thank you!!
