It could be many things (inflammatory bowel disease, lymphoma, etc).
Gail Yes, I agree, it could be those. Has she had bloodwork? It could be something as easily (and inexpensively) treated as hyperthyroidism but that could only be diagnosed through bloodwork.

I would think she might have a food allergy. Also, have you had her checked
for Bartonella, and/or cardiac issues? Often cardiac problems will cause cats to vomit frequently. -- M9 "jks0614" wrote in message m... Mommsy is 15 yrs old. She always seem to have a sensitive stomach or vomiting issues. An antibiotic usually helped. Now nothing helps. She was on AD for short time, now on KD. Vet said that liver & kidneys show deteriation due to age. Her vomiting is smelly & so is her loose bowel movement. She doesn't always poop in the pan. Mommsy has a healthy appetite & acts "normal". She's alert. If you mention a "blockage", then wouldn't she not be or would stop eating,pooping, etc? I'm supposed to go to vet on Mon if she doesn't stop - for an injection to stop this. ITM, I'm giving her Hi-Vite Drops (from vet). She's not lethargic although she never has been a playful cat. (I got her in 1991 as a totally feral cat & was about 1-2 yrs old. Took me about 4-5 months to domesticate her). She's very thin - anorexic, under 5 lbs, but a bit over 4 lbs. Any ideas? Keep in mind her age & what she should/could be put thru. Joan |
