Hi,
My kitten is now 4 months old and I have had her since she was 8 weeks. She originally came from a hoarder environment, so I think has food issues. However, my concern is that she definitely eats too fast, but she gags after eating (no vomit) and sometimes does this thing where she gags/sneezes and spittle comes out. The spittle smells like food and she actually licks it up. Pumpkin didn't help settle her at all. The gags are almost like burps and smell of the food. I will not feed her dry - I am now breaking her food up into 5-6 servings per day and while that is all well and good while I am not working, that's not going to be doable when I start working again. Also, it is helping a bit, but she is still gagging at least once a day and is still doing that. I have switched her food 3 times, but the only common denominator is that all of them had chicken. Perhaps even this young she is intolerant to chicken? If it is gas/acid reflux, I do NOT want to give her an antacid as I know how bad they are. She does fart a lot too, which at 4 months old, she shouldn't have this much gas anymore.
I need help!
Thanks
