Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this forum and I have a cat (her name is Tabby) that is too high maintenance. She's about give or take 6 years old and her problem that I'm very concerned about is vomiting.
I've taken her to the vet more than once about this problem but every time it just seems like I'm giving money to the vet for nothing. They do this test and that test but they can't seem to pinpoint the problem.
She has also try every kind of cat food imaginable. When I first got her from the pet store (I think she was abandoned by her previous owner), she was on Iams. She was doing well for awhile until she started throwing up. I than switched her to Tender Vittles and she was doing fine for a while. After Tender Vittles, she was on Science Diet Sensitive Stomach formula. Now she is currently on Science Diet Oral Care.
I failed to mention that she loves to eat strings. Since I had her, she had surgery to remove a string from her intestines that did not come out the other end. She also had another incident of eating a piece of thin plastic but that came out.
I think Tabby has a combination of sensitive stomach, bad teeth, and sheds too much fur. Can anyone suggest what kind of cat food that can help her with all these problems.
I've read many messages posted on this forum and a lot of you suggested on elevating the food & water bowls. I tried that and Tabby hasn't thrown up for about three days but guess what?...she's at it again. I'm so frustrated I don't know what to do.
Also, is it a good idea to get health insurance for my cat? If it is, which provider is good
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
