I`ve had my cat two and a half years. He came to me as a stray so I dont know his history. He is about five and is neutered. Goes in and out as he pleases. Bit on the tubby side at 6kg.
When I first started feeding him, he would vomit after nearly every meal. A trip to the vets to get him checked out and they suggested he had a sensitive stomach and prescribed ID, I think thats Hills.
This seemed to sort him out though he would vomit maybe once or twice a fortnight.
Then he got pretty bored of the same old biscuits every day so I started doing white fish for this breakfast then he`d have the ID or Science Plan Sensitive Stomach in the afternoon. Everything went well for over a year.
The monday before last he seemed quite poorly. Didnt come and wake me up as usual, subdued, not interested in fish, kept wanting to go in and out and was yowling like he was in pain.
Got him in to see vet who said he had a raised temp. He was hurting when she felt round his tummy but she said she could feel no blockage and she ruled out bladder problem as he did a big wee in his carrier on the way they.
He was given an injection of anti-inflammitory and anti-biotics and I was given a week of anti-biotic tablets for him.
That evening he was pacing about and passing tiny amounts of liquid poo everywhere. After an hour or so he passed a very small poo in his litter tray and seemed to settle down.
The next morning he was back to his usual self.
For the following week he had his anti-biotics with no problems. He didnt vomit once but was eating like a horse and drinking alot!
As soon as the pills were finished he vomited again. Usually only happens with his breakfast so I replaced the fish with the Science Plan buscuits. He vomited. Tried the next day, same thing.
He finished the pills nearly a week ago and every morning he has vomited his food. Yesterday he was very quiet all day so I got him some prawns that he loves. Not interested but ate them in the evening.
Gave him two cut up this morning and again he vomited. He later had a drink and then vomited that too.
He doesnt seem to be in pain like two weeks ago. Still wants cuddles which he didnt want then and is up on sofa. Before he just stayed down on floor.
Im very worried. I feel like Im making him sick by feeding him!
He gets really stressed out by going to the vet and wees everywhere so I dont want to upset him, but I need to know whats going on with him.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Am I being a neurotic cat owner?!
