Hello,
My cat has having a vomit issue lately. So 2 days ago, my cat threw up during night time after he ate the dry food. My cat used to have a problem of eating too much in quick speed so I usually see something like this once every month or so. (Yes, I followed various instruction to slow down but once awhile, it still happens). Anyway, he used to throw up immediately (less than 5 minutes) after he ate but at that time, he threw up a little longer (maybe after 10-20 minutes) he ate. Also this time, it smelled really bad (it used to smell nothing serious but dry food smell).
Then yesterday morning, I gave him a wet food just as usual. Same food, same time. I wanted to slow down so after few bites of wet food, I took the bowl out to give him a time to chew and after few seconds, give it to him again and so on. It seemed fine, but after 20 minutes, he threw up again! This time, it did not smell, just as before (dry food smell). Few hours later, he seemed find, eating normally and also keep wanting food. Later of that day, I gave him a dinner again. This time, nothing happened.
Then today morning again, he happened! Same as yesterday...after he ate, he seemed like he wanted to throw up something...like he went to the different area, sit down and made a posture like he want to throw up and after 10-20 minutes, he threw up again. In there, it consisted of wet food he just ate and also dry food kibble (not chewed...but original shape).
I will definitely check it out vet later but after reading many forums about vomit issue, I cannot tell if this is somewhat a health issue I need to concern about or his trait of eating fast. I mean every dinner (when I offer him another wet food), I have no issue. I don't want to go to the vet if this is just eat too much in quick speed issue.
Thank you so much
