Hi there, my maine coon Bentley threw up last night, about 6 hours after his last meal, he got in the litter box as if he was about to use it then started gagging and threw up right outside of it. However it wasn't really like normal throw up, he literally threw up a whole can worth of food, and none of it looked like it had been digested, it looked like I just opened a can up and plopped it onto the ground. I thought it'd at least look chewed up and such, but it didn't.
I've narrowed it down to two possible things. Number one, he accidently ate a bit of the tv guide earlier that morning, he likes to sleep on it and play around with it and such, and somehow he managed to bite a small piece off (about half the size of my pinky finger), unfortunately I wasn't able to get it out of his mouth before he swallowed it. The second I can think of is earlier that same morning I gave him some whiskas temptation creamy dairy flavor treats for the first time, however on the back it says they're 99.7% lactose free, so I'm kind of doubting it was that.
I thought it was because of the tv guide and that it was out of his system so I gave him some food in the morning, and checked to make sure he did in fact chew it thoroughly (which makes the fact when he threw up it looked completely unchewed and undigested even weirder) and he seemed to be ok up until just now, when he started gagging as if he was about to throw up again, however he stopped, I guess he managed to get it back down or something. I'm keeping him in my room now to monitor him, any idea what this could be? Is it just like a 24 hour bug or should I call the vets?
