Hi! So I have been having trouble with my 2 year old long haired male kitty. He has been vomitting food for almost a year now and we still have no idea why that happens. He will vomit guaranteed if he has not eaten anything for longer than 3-4 hours and then eats "more than his stomach can handle", which is approximately 2 table spoons of food. He is more likely to vomit wet food over dry food. And he will vomit it within 5-10 minutes of eating. My vet tested him for GI, Pancreatitis, and all including his blood work looked perfectly fine. I fed him raw food and he would still vomit, fed him the EN Purina prescription wet food, and he will still vomit if he eats too much of it on an empty stomach. The key here is that his stomach, when empty, literally seems to be unable to handle a lot of food all at once. The food needs to get introduced by very small amounts (one teaspoon) every hour, or else he will vomit. My vet recommended I give him pepcid before he eats, and that has helped some, however, it has not solved the problem. He has also been having dark blood on his poop, so as per my vet, I have given him probiotics, which helped him to pass stool without blood, but did not do anything for the vomitting. My vet thinks the bloody stool and vomitting have a connection.
Is there anybody who has similar experience? How did you find out what the problem was? Please help, any advice is much appreciated at this point.
