Hello,
I need to know if someone ever faced the same issue.
My cat is turning 10 this August. She was never playful at all, very picky eater and only eats dry food (Royal Canin)
She always used to vomit around once a month, numerous vets said she's fine across the years.
Around 2 years ago, she would vomit 7/8 times a day, almost twice a year. The vet would make blood test an xray and says she's fine as long as her appetite is there.
This year, however, by the end of January she started vomiting for more than a day, once I saw a pinkish vomit I took her to the vet, she said it's blood. She prescribed nexium, didn't work so she kept her for 2 days in clinic under observation, my cat didn't eat or drink or use the litter box (she gets nervous outside the home). When returned home the vomitting has stopped.
By the end of March, same thing happened. I reduced her food intake thinking it will help. She kept on vomiting frequently for 2 weeks, I took her to the vet once I saw pinkish vomit. The vet did more test (gave her coloring with xray to show if she has blockage, blood tests...etc) she didn't find anything. Prescribed nexium for 5 days, and probiotic to be giving daily, and only feed her digestive food and hairball treatment. By the next day of this she stopped vomiting. I thought a solution was found.
Unfortunately, 2 days ago she started this vomiting cycle with pinkish tone. The clinic is closed for holidays, so I gave her nexium but still the vomiting is not improved. I am planning to take her to the vet when it opens, however, they usually cannot find a cause for this.
Worth noting the she doesn't seem sick, it's just after 2 days of vomiting she will reduce her eating so the her energy is less. She also uses the litter box normally.
I feel sorry for her since she's limited to 1 type of food with no treats as per vet request, yet it's still not helping.
Sorry for the lengthy post but if someone ever faced something similar, please let me know if you got a solution. I am very worried since neither the vet or me can figure out what's wrong
