My cat eats too fast, doesn't chew, pukes all out again. | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 797835  Germany01/10/2010 09:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Maybe the billions of cat owners here can help me: This been going for years but now it's at a point where it happens daily. I can give him only canned tuna, the dried food is being puked out every time. But even with the tuna, it's like feeding a starved kitten. He didn't do this before. Used to eat his dried food in a "normal" way. Any ideas? Please no endless discussions about which food is better/worse.  |

Vet said it's not normal for a cat to throw up (bar the occassional fur ball). Vet gave him a shot of anti-nausia medication. I'm also now feeding him a more expensive brand of food. He's better now. Best of luck with your buddy. |

The only food he eats now is mushed (tuna) but i'd like him to get on the dried again, since there is another much greedier younger cat: food wars! |

I use one for my puppy and it works great. [link to www.orvis.com] |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 804464  South Korea01/10/2010 09:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Try a brand of food that doesn't contain any red dye (check the ingredients as it will be listed). Many cats are super sensitive to it. I had three cats and 2 of them had the issue with red food dye, when I switched them off of it, puking became rare. |

| Babe in a Bunker User ID: 847423 United States01/10/2010 10:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | try very small portions all throughout the day Quoting: Anonymous Coward 749475That's what we had to do with my cats, because one of them would eat like he'd been starved for weeks and then barf. This works. Well it seems so real I can see it And it seems so real I can feel it And it seems so real I can taste it And it seems so real I can hear it So why can't I touch it?

| WWJD User ID: 812830 Canada01/10/2010 10:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If the cat eats too fast and that's why he pukes try putting a spoon or a ball in the bowl of dry food. This way he has to eat around it and it slows him down. good luck ps. what do you use to clean up the puke. Mine has been puking a couple of times lately after giving treats... any idea why that is?

That might be a part of the problem. Try feeding the cats in two different rooms, possibly this kitty in the bathroom with the door closed. |
