My cat is 11 . He’s been to the vet and they did labs for everything , thyroid , diabetes , all the stuff . I really thought he had thyroid issues but they said his labs are normal . The only thing left to do was an ultrasound and I don’t have funds for that right now . He likely has IBS basically . Here’s what’s happening though is he pukes daily almost . Usually food . Sometimes watery stuff or grass . I have Guinea pigs and they eat hay and the hay falls on the floor . I try to keep it swept up daily but George will eat the bits if he finds any like grass basically and later he pukes . But it’s not the cause of all his puking . I’ve seen him literally go eat his dry food and then less then 15 min later puke it up . Like he gorges sometimes . I have his food spread out on a flat tray so he can’t gobble it as fast .
But lately this is happening every morning . It’s like in the early hours of the morning he goes and eats , poops a super smelly one in the litter or on the floor in front of the box and then pukes somewhere.
it’s getting tiresome . My kids step in the puke and we have to watch every morning or get woken to puking or super smelly poo .
He was doing better for a while . He eats Purina tender selects . I had gotten some sport mix from TRC and it seemed like his puking increased . We stopped that and went back to Purina and his tummy seemed better . I’ve gotten Purina gentle stomach which has almost the same ingredients as Purina tender selects and slowly mixed it in . He seemed fine but now he’s puking again when he wasn’t for a while .
He gets canned food , just a tablespoon every evening and morning . He is being very picky about that and won’t touch it unless it’s fresh from a new can . Most of the time won’t eat it. I have two teenage cats who will gobble up what he won’t eat so it doesn’t go to waste . I always feed him his canned food separately so he gets a good chance to eat it . He will eat the dry if he doesn’t eat the wet anyway . He seems to like the dry . It’s only the puking in the wee hours of the morning or if he gorges though so I’m not sure why this is going on . Maybe he forgets to eat for too long at night and gorges .. he sleeps with me and he’s next to me almost all night until around 6 and then I hear the puking so I don’t know if he’s went out and ate too much pukes and comes back or what . He always acts hungry for his wet food in the morning but if it’s a can previously opened he turns up his nose and I’m not opening a fresh can daily as we don’t go through it that fast . I’m not sure what’s truly going on and why . The vet was really no help
