So a bit of background:
Salem is a senior 16 years old. He lives with my mom because he refused/hated moving with me. So I took a kitten she wanted to get rid of to have less cats & she agreed to let Salem retire at her house. At the time we both thought he would live 6 months. He had lost a lot of weight since Dante’s death. We are just trying to keep him comfortable & happy untilit is time to let him go. He is happy at my mom’s & my stepdad has been his favorite person before I moved out.
Salem drinks lots of water& is fed lots of wet food (more often since the pandemic.) She also feeds him lots of lickable treats/gravies. He is peeing OK.
Today she told me he is throwing up water every day. How concerned should I be? Is he hurting? Is there some kind of wet food he can eat that easier for him to digest? Would less or no fish be better? The reason he gets fed lickable treats is because every one is just happier when he eats anything. He has gained back some weight since being fed 3-4 meals a day. He now looks healthier.
My first thought was “is it almost time to put him down?” The thing is no one wants him to suffer. I know throwing up water is often throwing up bile for cats. Does he need a vet visit for his recent tummy troubles? It has been going on for about a week.
