Hello everyone!
Yesterday my Moose cat started vomiting *everywhere*. Like every few hours, he'd just spew. He must have been trying to eat in between those times because it was always a stomach full
.
(We have 5 cats, and two tend to be barfers, so at first I didn't think much of it. Just for the record, one has a tender tummy and the other still has stray mentality for food and eats too fast. But those are other issues.....)
Anyway, so I kept finding piles of barf. After the second one, I knew something was up, but didn't know which cat! Found them all, realized quickly it was Moose- he has barf on his chest and had runny stool stuck to his bum fur... he was a mess. I washed his bum best I could and quarantined him, planning on taking him to the vet this morning if he didn't improve.
Ok, well, the vomiting stopped late last night (it was about 12 hours of vomiting, there was 6 or 7 huge piles I cleaned up). Honestly, at first I thought he had a blockage and was going to need surgery or something....
Well today came and he's acting pretty normal. Eating, drinking, sleeping.
But... all that to ask:
What can I give him to help hydrate him? Usually I give tuna juice, but he won't touch it. He won't eat *anything* other than his dry cat food. Over the years I have literally tried dozens of brands, wet and dry, I have tried all appropriate people foods, etc. He won't touch any of them. It's like they are not food to him (I actually had a post talking about this when I first got him. Nothing's changed, lol)
I can tell he needs hydration (his eyes look funny, honestly). What can I do to help??!
