I bought a small bag of Natures Variety Instinct Raw Bites in Rabbit. The 2 adults (Crimmie and Doug) walked away from it. Crimmie actually gagged and then tried to bury it :lol3: The kitten (Pumpkin) is now 8 weeks old, and he enjoyed a few bites. I would say he consumed a total of 1 maybe 2 pieces ( each piece is maybe 1/4 teaspoon in volume). About 20-30 minutes later he started vomiting (in his litter box, bless his little heart). He has since vomited roughly 10 times. If it's too rich for his tiny tummy, I would have expected runny poop, or maybe vomiting once or twice...but all evening?? He just lays all cuddled up for a bit, gets up, mews uncomfortably, and hurls twice...back to sleep...repeat.
Anyone know if this is an intolerance to rabbit, or raw, or both, or something else??
I also gave them a try of Orijen Regional Red. He seemed to enjoy it, but didn't over eat. I have pasted the ingredients below for reference..
