[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 685461, member: 1963"] In general, puking isn't that big a deal in cats so long as it isn't violent, repeated, or prolonged, and so long as the vomitus is partially digested food without a lot of mucus or bile, or Bast forbid, any blood. It makes me nervous, as Thomas has something very wrong with his digestive tract that caused violent diarrhea until I switched him onto a grain-free, mostly whole carcass food. Shortly after I moved, he had a bout of vomiting continuously that landed him in the hospital with dehydration, electrolyte imbalance with-tremors, irregular heartbeat, and a seizure. He also had a 106 degree fever. He was ultrasounded, x-rayed, blood tested, all was OK making allowance for dehydration. He spent the rest of the day and that night on IVs and electrolytes, on a cooling pad, with a fan blowing on him to break his fever. The puking stopped during the night and he came home on a soft vet diet and anti-emetics. Cost me nearly a grand, and no one knows what in heck was wrong with him. He is still a projectile puker, but only once or twice a week. Gives me the wibbles every time. Squeaky has scarf n' barf, but raising the dish helped her with that, and it's actually made it easier for Thomas to eat with his arthritis because it puts less strain on his back and neck to not have to bend over.
