My cat has had tummy issues since I adopted him over a year ago. He's on Laxatone three times a day and Lactulose twice a day. Pumpkin had a checkup in early February which he passed with flying colors.
Since then he's been throwing up off and on. The last time was a couple of weeks ago, but he acted good after that - has been pooping and peeing ok and very active. Loves to play.
I had to get up at 5 to use the bathroom and I cut through the bedroom to get to it. I found a small pile of digested kitty food on the floor with Pumpkin sitting nearby. It looked like he'd been eating too much, too fast,which he's done in the past. Pumpkin will throw up if he eats too quickly, like my great-Aunt's cat used to do.
He's acting fine now. In fact, he's at his supper dish eating as I write this.
Should I take him to the vets? I can go if need be, but he hates riding in cars and gets very upset. If this is a matter of him eating too much too fast, how do I get Pumpkin to slow down when he eats?
Thoughts? I want him to be ok. When he got weighed in February the vet told me he lost a pound, but he was considered to be overweight before that. He previously weighed in at just over 14 pounds. Now he's about 13 pounds. He's about 4-5 years old.
Thanks.
