Hi,
We have a 6 year old male american Domestic Cat. The problem is he
throws up constantly. We are wondering if a change in food would make a
difference. We have tried all kinds of food over the past couple of
years. Wet, moist, dry, expensive, hairballtreatment, cheap, you name
it, he eats, he throws it up! We spent alot of money a year or so ago
at the Vets, and they suggested a different food which didn't work. We
are living in a new area where Vet service is not cheap, I am unemployed,
and we don't have much money. Anyone have any suggestions? Or has
anyone delt with this sort of thing before? Help! This is driving me
crazy. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank You

Are you saying he cant keep anything down?? When you say he throws up
constantly, how often is that?
Daily? Many times thru the day?
every couple of days? once a week?

A cat who is truly throwing up contantly...( every hour or so) probably
has swallowed something that needs to be removed

If he eats too fast that too can cause him to throw up.

What can he keep down???

Few questions:

o Does he eat mainly dry, canned, combination of both?

o How often have you switched food, and have you done a gradual switch and
how long do you feed the new food before deciding it doesn't help?

o When he throws up, is it undigested food? Mixed with fur? Fully digested
moosh?

o Is his weight dropping or staying steady?

Others gave you great suggestions. My previous cat threw up whenever she ate a
large meals. So, I switched to free feeding her just dry food, which solved the
problem. Ditto about not switching food so quickly - sometimes a changing diet
will cause a cat to throw up.
