Hi I am hoping the lovely people here can help me find a diet for 3 year old cat Desi. As briefly as possible - he has always vomited more than other cats I have know and the vet thought it was greed/regurgitation as he is always sick during or just after eating. It got more frequent as he got older so we did more blood tests ( all fine) and an xray ( nothing ). We tried a hydrolysed protein diet ( dry food soya only) with no change. We have not yet done a biopsy but the vet agreed to tried steroids as IBD and or allergies seemed the cause. We had to go back to normal felix/iams as he stopped eating the other stuff but he as managed two months vomit free on anti nausea liquid and 1/4 of a steroid pill every day ( we started on 1 a day but reducing it too quick made him sick again)
trouble is we have been on the same dosage for 4 weeks and suddenly this week he has started being sick again with no other changes to diet. I have no clue what to do and nether does the vet it seems! I would like to try a novel single source protein diet but finding anything suitable that is also available reliably in the uk seems impossible. In all other respects he is a healthy happy cat with a shiny coat and a playful nature so he has no other symptoms. Even his appetite is good except he often wont eaten what he has just thrown up ( I can understand that!) so we need to keep options on hand. While I wait for the vet to call as he has been sick three times in the last 12 hours, can anyone make any suggestions for what to try, or if anyone has had a similar experience let me know what worked for them.
