Hi everyone.
I'm at a loss here, and hoping someone could help me, as i'm quite worried for my kittens health.
On saturday, my kitten (5 months old), started vomitting. At first it was only a puddle of her food and a puddle of clear liquid, but a day or so after, she started vomitting many times. I removed her food, so she just kept vomitting clear liquid (up to 5 times a day, but usually in/between a timespan of 4-5 hours).
I had her checked out by the vet on monday. They said the feel something hard in the intestine, but can't tell what it is. The x-ray didn't show anything, so they send me home. I made sure to give her only small quantities of food during the day. It seemed to get better for 1 day, but then started again. On wednesday, i brought her to another vet. They checked her, said there is something hard in her stomach and did another x-ray. I can't remember if they saw something on the x-ray or not, but they decided to operate her, because they had the suspicion of a foreign object blocking her intestine. They opened her stomach, but before actually opening the intestine, they apparently noticed that it was only gas, so they only "pressed" it out without opening the actual intestine (i had her neutered, since they opened her stomach anyway). They said it seems to be an intestinal infection of sorts.
I picked her up yesterday. Gave her the normal food she usually eats, fast forward to 2 hours ago, and she started vomitting again. She has vomitted 4 or 5 times nows in the span of 2 hours now. At first her food, then only clear liquid.
I will give the vet a call when they open, but i'm not sure how much they can/will help at this point. They might suggest i bring her to get checked again, but i'm not sure if that is contra-productive at this point. Not only is she recovering from the OP, but the original problem is also still there.
I do have a few questions:
Can a cat develop suddenly allergies against a specific food/ingredient, that would trigger such an agressive reaction from one day to another?
I thought maybe i got a bad batch of the dry food, but my other kitten eats the same, and she is fine.
Could me only feeding her dry-food cause this? The reason for this is: After i bought her, she had diarrhea for around 1 week. I had her checked at the vet, and they didn't find anything. Shortly before getting her checked, i switched to the dry food the previous owner was already feeding her, and it seemed to get slightly better. The vet suggested i only give her this specific dry food for a month.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
