My 6 yr female cat (FIV+) has been thriving with raw meat for 5+ years. However, since this Monday, she started vomiting solid food (chicken thigh chunks, any canned food which has solids in it). Additionally, I have tried giving her egg yolk, roasted chicken, pate-type of canned food, but she threw up even small amount. I took her to a conventional vet yesterday, and had X-ray taken and blood tests done (Catalyst Complete, Lyte4, Chem15), and all showed within normal range, and X-ray showed a few specks of brighter dots in her intestine (as if there were bone bits), but the vet didn't worry about it since it is all on the way out from her system. She (the vet) was about to give a shot of Cerenia (Maropitant), but I politely refused it.
My cat (Her name is Mikan - pronounced, "Me-khaan" a little tangerine in Japanese!) is 8.20lb as of yesterday, that is her regular weight. She is a super sweet, humble, calm, and patient kitty. Although she vomits, she doesn't have any diarrhea. I brought her poop sample to the vet, so I will hear the result from the office today. Last night, after the vet visit, she ate about 1 Tbsp of wet food, and she didn't throw up. I gave her 1 Tbsp of chicken broth late last night and this morning. Although she threw up wet food again this morning, she enjoyed small amount of ghee butter.
What can I do to help Mikan eat? What else can I try? She has good appetite and energy (well, she can still run away from her brother cat play-chasing her!). Shall I try homeopathy, like Arsenicum album? I am just referring Dr. Hamilton's book, and I have a tubule 30c at home. I will greatly appreciate any input on this. Thank you very much!
