Hey all,
I have an indoor cat (male, neutered, about 6.5 years and generally healthy) who was puking up his food pretty consistently yesterday. I'm attributing this to me stupidly having an oil diffuser going in my room where he was hanging out - has sinced been removed and he has been banned from the room - and also a change in food type (he went from the chicken to the beef version of his food because Chewy was out of what he normally gets). Through out his pukey-ness he was acting very normal aside from the vomiting - still interested in food, accepted attention/being picked up, even cuddled with me on the couch for awhile. This morning he even woke me up begging for food!
We tried some watered down canned food the first round and that didn't sit right, so swapped him to some boiled chicken as soon as we could get to the store + give his stomach some rest time. He kept down a little chicken and some treats around 11, then just snoozed until about 3 when we gave him more boiled chicken. He ate quite a bit, given out in small doses so he wouldn't eat too fast, then retreated to nap under the couch, which isn't unusual for him. I just shook his treat bag to see if he wanted dinner and he sniffed the treats and chicken but didn't seem to want to eat anything. This part IS a little weird since one of his passions in life is good and how to get more food.
I'm assuming that generally all is well since he has eaten again and has used litter box normally today, and that him just napping and not wanting to devour another plate of food is just due to recovering from what was probably a stressful day of vomiting, and also eating a bunch of chicken earlier today after not eating for awhile. Before yesterday, his eating and behavior patterns were all normal - there was no steady decline or anything. I'm definitely keeping an eye on him to see if he needs vet attention, but vets and travel really stress him out so if he's on the road to recovery at home I don't want to put him through that! I feel generally like he is on the up and up but I would LOVE some reassurance that this is all pretty fair game for a cat recovery after a sicky spell.
Thank you so much!
