Default 16 yr. old cat constantly throwing up

Suddenly, without warning, Buddy's Mom exclaimed (3/22/2011 6:07 AM):
Along with checking the thyroid, I would also wonder if she has
hairballs. As they age, they lack the ability to get rid of them. I
would highly suggest using Temptations for Hairballs or Cat Lax for a
couple of weeks to help the hairballs pass and see if this decreases
the vomiting.

Stay on canned food. Fancy Feast is actually very good for cats.
High protein and low or no carbs.


Well... some varieties. My understanding is that the quality of Fancy
Feast varies between varieties.

For instance, I remember reading that the grilled versions are not a
good choice, though I can't cite my reference. Meep mostly gets the
classics, usually something with liver or giblets.
