Default Is my cat sick?

Problem is that she has taken to regularly throwing up... often just
after eating. This might not be as bad as it sounds since our dogs
clean up after her... except of course unless she has something wrong
with her.

She doesn't throw up after *every* meal... maybe once a week or so...
but it's still a concern and we're wondering what we should do about
it - if anything. Other than this occasional problem... and forgetting
she's 'house trained' now and then... she's pretty much a healthy
animal, if skittish.

Should we be worried??


It's not uncommon for cats to throw up once a week, but it should be
monitored as best as possible.

You have to look at the vomit to see if it has fur in it.
If it does; then Petromalt or "hairball formula" cat food should help.

If no fur;
allergic reactions to the food are suspect.
Switch brands, or change her diet.

Tried switching brands... and varieties with the same brand and she
was worse then ever!
