My male gray and white who is 15 months old has just started vomiting a couple times during the night. The rest of the time he is fine, like normal. This has happened a couple of nights now. It doesn't seem to be hairballs and there was a piece of kibble in the one patch of vomit. He gets meow mix hairball control for his regular food.
I put about 40 pieces of the kibble in his dish, enough to just cover the bottom of a regular coffee cup, and leave it until it is mostly empty before adding more. I have been using the meow mix a while and this just started. I use mostly Pet Valu freeze dried chicken liver treats, Friskies Party Mix with real chicken and flavors of liver and turkey, and sometime during each night he gets Head to Tail Vitamin +. Some nights I forget to give that one, but he's been getting it for weeks and the vomiting just started.
I don't always feed him at the same times, just when his dish is empty or mostly empty, but I've always done it that way. I wash his fishes every morning and rinse them.
When he won't eat the last of his food in the morning before I wash his dishes, I crumble some of the Pet Valu on his food and he eats it right up. I have been doing that for a while too.
I use about 5 pieces of the Party Mix to get him to follow me into his room so I can keep him there while I work (I work from home). I don't keep him in for more than a few hours or so as I know he may get hungry.
He has recently been on a mild prednosone does for scratching his shoulders bare. The vet said I could also put neosporin on the wounds, which I do once a day. He also just got his flea medicine from frontline put on Saturday. A month ago he got his shots for rabbies, feline leukimia innoculation, and some other innoculation called VS FCV Virulent systemic vacc.
The vet said he might have allergies causing him to scratch his shoulders bare. They are getting better. He got some kind of medicine for that. I believe it was topical. That was also last month.
He likes to drink from the bathroom sink and I put a trickle of water running for him when he hops in there. I have been doing this for a long while and only now the vomiting.
He wakes me up a few times a night and if his dish is empty I feed him then. It's only when I wake up in the morning that I find he has vomited in a couple of spots, usually within a couple feet apart.
I am going to call the vet today too. Let me know what you think.
