Older Cat Vomiting Issue

My 13-14 year-old cat Abby is having trouble keeping her food down. It's
not
a constant problem, but it's a messy one. It comes up almost immediately
after eating and is usually barely digested, so I don't even know if it's
made it to her stomach. I've tried cutting her portions back to 1/4 cup 4
times a day, but it still happens occasionally. I even feed her the Purina
formula for mature cats.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The first order of business is a thorough vet exam to rule out a medical
cause.

If your vet gives her a clean bill of health, try spreading out her food a
little to make her eat it a little slower. Try putting small amounts (~ 1
tbsp) of food a few feet apart - the farther the better.

Ideally, she should be fed canned food.

Good luck.

Yes, if the vet has ruled out all illnesses, feed her high quality canned
food and NO dry.

Hi .. I've just been through this with my cat which is much younger but hte
same symptoms. We tried medication but then my vet asked me to try a
restricted diet of prescription food. and ONLY that food (in other words she
is to have no access to anything.. not even crumbs..
Bingo. .I have a new cat. We just came back from the vet and he couldn't
believe the difference. The food is only available through the vet clinic
(I'm in Canada by the way) and compared tothe alternatives of vet trips and
medication it is well worth it to see this cat so healthy.. She was called
Tessie. Now I am calling her Tasmanian Tess.
