Hi,
I'm new here and would greatly appreciate some help. My cat Cookie is back to upchucking. She is a very nervous kitty and recently was doing well with no upchucks. Yesterday she threw up and today she did again. She is getting a tiny bit of Miralax daily (I was told not to add water!) in her wet food to help her go daily or close to that. She tended to go every other day and have rock hard stool. But this had been normal for her for the last 10 years.
She has a history of upchucking occasionally, but I always found a reason. Once it was due to her stupid person (me!) spraying mint based rodent repellent around the apt. Once I realized that, stopped any kind of spraying and cleaned all of it up, no more throwups. BUT now for some reason, she is throwing up again. It's not hairballs.
She is not constipated but her stool is rock hard. Maybe there is still some left in her. I saw a post here where that seemed to be the case for a kitty that wasn't feeling well.
We will be going to the vet very soon, but in the meantime, I wonder if Miralax in such small amounts could be upsetting her stomach? I'm going to stop any Miralax and see if that might help. I feel so awful for her when she throws up. The vet suspected she might be hyper T, but the last blood tests a few months ago showed normal Free T4 (high normal though). Sigh, time to bring her in and get her examined and Free T4 retested. So often the vets have no idea what is causing various things. Thanks for being here for us.
