Hi everyone.
I have 2 British shorthair kittens. They’re just about 5 months old now.
Hiro and Luna.
A few days ago, Luna vomited about an HOUR after his meal.
No change in environment.
No change in diet.
Active, playful, eating and drinking.
No poop. Only wee.
I was worried and called my vet. Vet said to monitor as it may be hairball.
Luna continued to vomit an hour after every other meal.
I quickly brought him to the vet.
The vet did some checks and told me he seems fine. Told me to continue to monitor him.
Yesterday we visited a different vet. I requested for blood works to be done, X-rays, and all that to get to the root of the problem.
Blood is all good.
The Xray showed some shards(?) being digested and moving along very very slowly down the intestines.
They also did a dye test(?)A drop of dye in abit of canned food. To watch how the food moves along his GI. So far the food has been moving along. The last xray showed that the dye has reached the shards(?) as mentioned above.
This morning we returned to the same vet.
They did another xray and suggested an enema. He pooped a little awhile after.
It’s been 4 days.
I thought that whatever was blocking his intestines was passed out today and he’ll be better. The vet said everything should be ok now.
Brought him home fed him, an hour later he threw up.
Usually after vomiting he will drink water and go back to playing or ask for more food.
The vet mentioned that the cause of vomit could be the raw diet I’m feeding him. However, his Sister is on the exact same diet and is thriving.
He also had chicken from the beginning and never had issues with chicken.
Could this be an allergy?
They eat a raw diet. Since the vomiting, I’ve been giving him tiny bits of chicken thigh only.
Someone recommended me digestive enzymes. Would this help? Asked the vet about digestive enzymes and slippery elm and she said no.
I’m so worried I don’t want to feed him anything for now. Breaks my heart to see him throw up every time.
Help me please.
