My 12 year old cat has always been known to vomit more often than I thought was acceptable. He craves grass and frequently vomits after eating it.
In the past year or two I've noticed frequently him vomiting after a bowel movement. He goes but the stools are loose like clay and bad smelling and shiny. Not dry poop like usual constipation I read on. Right after he goes he vomits food and saliva and some yellow liquid stains but the dry food is brown so could be from that. After he either eats more food and drinks a lot of water or eats more grass to vomit again then eats food and water right away.
He is not losing weight and no appetite loss, he has put almost 2 pounds on, could be overeating plus his age. He only eats dry food and refuses wet, drinks lots of water and I see him pee a lot comes out. I think that could be why he eats grass the fiber either aids in digestion or helps him vomit to rid a bloated feeling. He burps often after eating but is a fast eater, no gas though.
He had bartonella last year but was given antibiotics and tested months later and was said to be cured. We got him from a shelter many years ago plus before that he lived on the streets and someone else's home and was attacked bu a male cat but he wasn't tested for anything by the shelter.
Our other cat has c. Diff we never were able to treat. Had a thorough stool test done and vet said it was barely positive 1% over negative but most likely she has it. and frequently gets loose stool with mucus and little blood, sometimes diarrhea plus bad gas, goes outside litter box often. but rarely vomiting and unlike our other cat loves canned food and drinks little water. Could my other cat have caught it?
Both cats have digestive issues and my cat with diarrhea I try giving a probiotic, but the one vomiting after bathroom won't take probiotic. IBD was mentioned but really we've had no tests done the vets usually feel the belly and we had a basic stool test done which found nothing but I heard those don't find other less common issues. I'm not even 100% sure my other cat has c diff as the symptoms could be other things too.
Any idea what was going on? What tests are the best, money is tight so I want to do the most important ones for now.
