Hello, I've posted about my 12 year old cat Boogie's vomit/stool issues here many times before. Apologies for long post!!
He has suddenly started having issues on and off since 2021 after I started trying to better his diet slowly. Long story short he refuse to eat wet food to the point of starving himself, may possibly have chicken sensitivity (still testing that at home), and my vet is baffled cus he is otherwise very healthy in every test including ultrasound. He probably got tested over 10 times in 2021 all with absolutely clean bill of health.
He didn't vomit for a few months which is a record for him. During that time I've been trying to figure out his food issues as he had soft stool issues that started November 2021. I mostly got it under control after feeding him a rabbit LID dry food with probiotic that my other cat also gets for 4 months. I stopped needing to wipe him after every poop and his stool was consistently logs.
He started vomiting about twice a day about every few days since a week ago. He's done this before, where he has a period of a few days surrounding a big hairball where he would be more nauseous/vomits up food or little white foam. I think he also had softer stool again as I found his poop as 1 clump rather than log. I brush him whenever he would tolerate but it's been a lifelong issue for him that I've tried every suggestion by users here. Laxitone, butter, Vaseline, etc. For now I've mostly resigned to him having hairball vomits as to not stress him with more changes.
Are there any other signs I should look out for? Between the recent vomits he eats, isn't dehydrated, acts his usual self and just last night was very vigorously playing with my other cat as usual. He had firm logs before and then just suddenly soft clump last night. Since I didn't find the stool until has since solidified into a clump I can't say if it's was watery diarrhea or soft stool.
