Okay...does anyone have any experience with either prednisolone or krill oil causing vomiting/regurgitation? From what I've read, vomiting from pred is not a common side effect, especially at a low dose. I'm not sure about the krill oil. Boo has been vomiting or regurgitating quite frequently these past few days to the point where I'm concerned he's not getting enough calories. I came home from holiday shopping last night to find "old" vomit on the carpet, so he must have done it sometime in the afternoon. He regurgitated his entire dinner last night and also this morning.
I thought maybe it was the dry food (he gets a tiny amount about an hour after eating canned), but this morning I did not give him any dry food, and it happened anyway.
Here's a timeline:
12/11 - 12/17 Tried novel protein diet; wouldn't eat it.
12/17 Back to previous diet; started krill oil (given in PM before going to bed)
12/19 Regurgitated dinner
12/20 Started prednisolone 5 mg (given in PM before dinner)
12/20 - 12/21 He did vomit one of these days, but I didn't write it down.
12/22 Vomited partially digested food in the afternoon; regurgitated dinner; skipped krill oil
12/23 Regurgitated breakfast; this time I gave him the krill oil in the AM, waited 15 minutes and then fed him; everything came right back up
I'm inclined to stop the krill oil first since he regurgitated prior to the pred. I guess it could also be the fact that we are back on his old food, which is mostly poultry.
