Hello All,
I have a bonded pair that are 1 year 5 months old. The female is a vomitter, always has been though it comes and goes. It typically happens immediately after she eats, and she is a food gobbler. I feed a combination of Royal Canin dry and wet food. I feel wet twice a day and leave a bit of dry around which is typically finished up by the evening feeding.
My little girl vastly prefers the dry and enjoys gobbling quickly. She typically pukes 2-3 times after eating each meal 3-4 times a week. It never affects her energy levels, and poop/peeing is fine though she is smaller than her brother (but she's more tuxedo and he is more tabby) She is a medium hair (longer around neck, shorter elsewhere), which may contribute to the problem. If she ever gets outside, she goes immediately to chew on plants. I can't have any plants in the house because she hovers them all.
I will be taking them to the vet in a couple weeks (had planned now but changed jobs and they messed up my pay and are working on fixing it). I had tried her on a GI sensitive food previously but it did nothing. The problem is the way that she eats I think (hooverer) combined with her longer hair which I comb regularly. I considered using slowing feeding, but I'm already worried because her brother already eats more than his share and is starting to get a bit chunky. Both of them are also plastic lickers (but thankfully not chewers).
Anyone else have this problem? Is it a sign of something more serious? I mentioned it to the vet each time we had a check (and we had an extra wellness check when I moved a few months ago). They all said she looks healthy and is a healthy weight. We gave her an anti-worm pill just in case.
