Hi, first time posting!
I live with two domestic short hair kitties, 9.5 years old, female, from same littler. They are on modified Dr.Pierson's recipe almost two years. Modified means - (1) I buy ground from Hare Today instead of grinding myself, (2) I use different kind of proteins, Chicken, Rabbit, Turkey, Pork and occasional Duck.
One of my kitty start having vomit incidents since Mid-December. First I thought it was emotional (I needed to travel 2 weeks in row after Thanksgiving, left them with cat sitter lady). Then I sort of linked her vomit with Pork, so stopped feeding Pork. Over the Christmas/New Year I traveled again, kitties ate canned only when I was away. I came home, start re-introducing raw. Seemed doing OK, but she did puke 4 times in January. She's been on half raw half canned lately.
PUKE HISTORY
Her puke in December were 1-2 hours after raw meal, food came out. Happened 4 times.
1/7 after Rabbit raw
1/8 after Pork raw
1/16 yellow bile no food
1/17 yellow bile no food tiny hair ball
2/9 yellow bile no food
2/9 after Rabbit raw
WHAT IS KNOWN
WHAT I AM CURRENTLY TRYING
QUESTION
I am really hoping to go back to raw, or possibly home cooked. Buying canned food is very difficult after making raw ... there is almost always some ingredients I think "???" ...
Any comment is appreciated. Thank you very much!

WHAT IS KNOWN
- Her sister is eating raw just fine, i.e. no bad batch
- I did not change recipe at all
- Met Vet, was told that she is in good shape (visual inspection only)(she had full blood panel in summer)
- Activity wise she is fine. No change, sometimes quite active, cold and cloudy days are sleepy.
- Her "output" is normal
WHAT I AM CURRENTLY TRYING
- Made bone broth
- Will start primal goat milk (bought today)
QUESTION
- Did any kitty experience something similar? If so, did she/he ever able to go back to raw? Or ended up settling down with canned or cooked food?
- I am wondering maybe Probiotic or digestive enzyme might help?
