Hi all, I'm debating whether I should go back to the vet, or whether this most recent episode of throwing up is my fault?
- Thursday 20th: Cat was clearly sick. Threw up twice and had diarrhea, and his behavior was erratic. He didn't sleep all day, was just lying down at the weirdest corners. He was still affectionate and still grooming, however. I took him to the vet, he got some meds, vet did blood tests, all came back negative. So nothing to worry about, the vet thought it was just a minor stomach bug.
- Friday 21st: Cat barely ate, his behavior was still erratic, but no vomit, no diarrhea
- Saturday 22nd: Went back to his regular food, but fed him much less. Behavior back to normal
- Sunday 23rd: Fed the cat his regular food again, and closer to his regular portion. He threw up everything in the morning, so didn't feed him much more. Fed him a small amount in the afternoon, he kept it in. Behavior was still 100% normal, and going forward, it's always been 100% normal.
- Monday 24th: He kept everything in, I fed him some very small portions for both his meals
- Tuesday 25th: He kept everything in, I fed him some slightly larger portions for both his meals
- Wednesday 26th: He threw up what I first fed him, but he acted weirdly around the food. He refused to eat it at first, and I kind of insisted by constantly presenting it to him, he ultimately ate a bit, then threw up. When I smelled the canned food (it was a freshly open can), it did not smell very fresh. It didn't smell bad, but definitely not like his usual cans. So I thought to myself, maybe the can was spoiled? I fed him from a different can, back to very small amounts, and this time he kept everything in
- Thursday 27th: He kept everything in, I fed him some slightly larger portions for both his meals
- This morning: He threw everything up, but I fed him some fairly large portion of food (not his usual portion, but about 2/3 of what I would feed him prior to him becoming sick). I wonder if he threw up because his stomach is no longer used to larger quantities of food.
I'm obviously worried, but I feel like at this point he also needs to rest as much and avoid stress as much as possible, and shoving in in a crate and going to the vet is definitely a stressful experience for him...
Edit: Even this morning, his behavior is 100% normal. He asked for food for a while (after throwing up). Right now he's sleeping in his normal spot after a session of grooming, prior to that he explored his usual spots, munched on a bit of cat grass, etc.
