Wow. Maybe your brother can try a food that is made for cats with sensitive digestive systems. I don't know the names of these foods off hand, but other posters on this forum probably do. Also, some people I know feed their kitties a bit of canned pumpkin as a treat. It helps keep things moving through the digestive system. I hope her situation improves...

Well I know when he first got the cats they were on science diet...and his first cat didnt really care for it, so he switched to a multi-cat food...now he thinks that may be causing so he's switchin their food again. The Male has had no problems with it.

I talked to him today and he said she didnt puke in two days now...but she's gone as many as 10 days without getting sick then all of a sudden she starts throwing up again.

I just hope I can find something out for him because I know he'd be pretty upset if he decides to bring her back...

We use periodic treatments with petroleum jelly when the shedding increases. Just a fingerful a day, feed it to them (yes feed it to them!). It really does the trick. I don't know if I would do the vaseline AND the other med at the same time, though. But it is an option.

If it really is a hairball (which should have passed in his regurgitation), then take him off dry food and feed canned food with added water. I think hydration will help.

However, if the hairball has not been passed, then have him back to the vet. I would not be satisfied with this situation of constant puking. Not at all good for the cat, besides perhaps indicating another problem.

Yeah...I figure there has to be more behind this...it doesnt make sense that his cat cant keep it's food down. It seems to me like something is blocking her intestines...He said she seems to eat a lot, but she is throwing a lot of it up! She is still having bowel movents, but I wonder if they should x-ray her and see if something else is up?!
