Pounce Treats vomit
I have a little tortie named Motley who loves Pounce treats. When we
got her over a year ago she was very shy, wouldn't sit on a lap or allow anyone to touch her, I softened her up by enticing her onto my lap with Pounce treats. She has mellowed considerably but still expects a nightly dose of treats. Unfortunately, she has recently started vomiting within minutes of having her treats. She doesn't vomit otherwise. Any idea why the sudden sensitivity? I hate to stop giving her the treats, but I hate cleaning up after her too. |

Why not change brands of treats obviously something in them is causing her
an upset stomach. Celeste "Richard Evans" wrote in message ... I have a little tortie named Motley who loves Pounce treats.

My question was: Since she's been eating them daily for over a year, why would she suddenly become sensitive now? Have you checked the list of ingredients to see if there have been any changes (or call the manufacturer to ask that question). If there have not been any changes, then it's time to check with a vet. It's possible that she has developed an allergy, but it is also possible that there is a physical problem that needs to be diagnosed. Incidentally, many of these "treats" include food coloring that cause some cats to have digestive problems (but that may not explain why there has been a sudden change). MaryL |
