How do I get my cat to stop puking all the time?

Question

I have tried everything from buying expensive food with hair control in it, to getting her groomed all the time, nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

I took her to the vet and that is when we started her own prescription food that cost 40 bucks for a small bag and it didn't help, also my cat is strickly an indoor cat and has never been outside even for a short time.

Answer 1

Go to the vet

Answer 2

I had a problem with my cat. He was throwing up undigested food (it almost looked whole). After paying like $500 for all kinds of tests, the vet came back and said there is nothing wrong with him. Took him to the other vet for a second opinion. He told me to spread out the cats food on some newspaper. He felt he was eating too fast and that was causing him to throw up. By spreading the food out, he would have to move to continue eating and it would slow him down. Well I payed the $20 office visit and guess what it worked! Now I am back to feeding him from a bowl and every once in a while he will throw up.

There's a medication you can give the cat. It's name is "Reglan". The only catch is that your vet will have to prescribe it and for that he'll have to see the cat. It's not expensive though. A 2 week dose costs less than $20 here in NYC. Also, it's not something you'll need to keep the cat on indefinitely. Usually, the problem is a temporary one that the medication helps alleviate. You give it 30 minutes or so BEFORE feeding him. That's done twice a day for two weeks.

Before I knew what it was, my cat was vomitting after almost every meal and in the mornings before eating! It was insane. After two weeks on this medicine it stopped altogether. That was somewhere between 4 and 6 months ago and he's doing fine today.

My cat did the same thing. I bought some Whiskas dry cat food...and I may be wrong but almost positive it WAS whiskas. Purple bag...but anyway its lactose free so its much easier on digestive tract. So look for that...has carnation symbol on it and look for lactose free info on it. It's around 3.99 a bag so cheap enough to feed all the time and I do and havent had a prob since. It helped him in just a day or so. Good luck!

Answer 5

Try putting a dab of petroleum jelly (vaseline) on the top of your cats front foot once or twice a month. The cat will probably like the taste and will lick it off. This should help, because I had the same problem with one of my cats.

Answer 6

take the cat to the vet and find out why its throwing up. If it is just hairballs, a fingertip of vaseline on the top of their mouth will help with the hairballs. Just spread it on there about twice a week.

Answer 7

That's crazy...I've never heard such a thing...
Is she pregnant? If she's and outside cat I'm thinking maybe she's eating grass...but you'd see that in her vomit. Speaking of which, what's in the vomit, just everything she eats...or are the possibly bugs in it. I had a cat, come to think of it, that ate bugs now and then and would always puke them up....
More details might help me or someone out there help you with this dilemma....
good luck !

Answer 8

Hairball remedy in a tube...vet or any store that has pet supplies, mine eat it right off my finger.It has a vasoline base, or something to that effect....it's hairballs...I have 6 long haired cats and if I don't give it 2 them....they puke....bugs..lol...that's funny!

Answer 9

frequent vomiting could be a sign of kidney or liver pre-failure or disease. Best have the vet run some tests just to rule those out.
