I took my cat in for a general check up required by the insurance, and after the check up the vet told us that my cat is overweight and needs to be put on a diet. We ended up taking prescribed food home.
Now the vet did tell me to slowly replacing his food with the new food. But the first night I forgot what she said and switched to the new food completely. He ate it, didn't like it very much, left a lot in there, but he was fine.
The next day I remembered what the vet told me, so I decided to go back to do slow convertion. I mixed half can of what he used to eat with the new food. My cat devoured it. But a few hours later he threw up all of his food.
Then the vomit just did not stop. The next morning I got up to find out that there were 6-7 small puddles of vomit everywhere.
Took my cat to another vet (the one we went was fully booked), explained what happened, did bloodwork, and was told that everything seems normal. So we went home with some anti-nausea meds but that was it.
I thought maybe the new diet is causing him throwing up so I switched everything back to what it was.
But since the vomit my cat hasn't really been eating, whereas before he is the one who cannot wait for dinner time. And the next day the vomit did not stop. He is also completely uninterested in any food, even one of his favorite.
Today he is in very low spirit, did not ask for cuddles and vomited huge puddles again.
I honestly don't understand what is going on.
I've been searching online crazy trying to find answers, and the only thing that I feel might be the cause was that we've been feeding him fancy feast for years. I saw online that some people's cats are throwing up on fancy feast and sudden allergies could happen.
Would it be that the new food triggered the allergic reaction?
I'm really hoping some answers and I'm desperate.
