Puking Cats PLEASE HELP!!
I know, I know, everyone has a puking cat story, but this is getting
out of hand at my house. I have two 9 year old sisters. Eilish has been a puker her whole life. Greta just started puking this year, lots and lots of food, about every other time she ate. Both of them seen TOTALLY healthy and normal besides the puking thing. Anyway I decided to change their diet after 9 years, they ate Iams Diet food (dry) and I just switched to BG (Before Grain) dry food, no preservatives or grains. Well after a week of mixing it with their other food, Greta the new puker has only had one incident!! This is great news, I felt like the change of food was good for her. However Eilish is vomiting (I will switch from puke to vomit now), more then ever. Not only food, but bile. She has always had a sensitive stomach and eats fast and really likes this food, so I can see her throwing up the food, but she is also vomiting the bile in between feedings. So I thought well perhaps I should go a different route with the food and get food for sensitive stomachs. My question is...........are there any goods one out there, what experiences have you had, any suggestions. PLEASE, I would appreciate any reviews. Thanks......... |

Try feeding canned food twice a day. Some cats are gluttons and eat too
much too fast. Feed each cat half a can (6 oz) and after 15 or 20 minutes give them the other half (if they want it). Make sure that the greedy one doesn't steal from the other ones dish. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

First, please take both cats to the vet. The frequency of vomiting and
the bile in the vomit is not normal and you need to rule out medical issues. Also, I would agree with Mike in saying that a grain-free canned food would be better for both of them. Here's an article on feline nutrition you should read: http://www.catinfo.org/ |

The cats need to be seen by a vet for an exam and blood panel. -L. |
