Hello everyone. I am currently working through an issue with my 12 year old cat with very recent vomiting issues. He has been on a diet of fancy feast classics chicken pate and Royal canin gastro for the past 2.5 years. I opened a new 12 pack box of FF on saturday night and put some in his bowl. the next morning he is throwing up. I am fairly certain he didn't eat it until the next morning. He ONLY throws up within 17 minutes of eating. like clockwork it has ranged between 11 and 17 minutes. it's like his stomach immediatley rejects the food.
He keeps his Royal Canin Gastro dry food down fine. we went 48 hours feeding only that (and plenty of water) and he didn't puke once.
Today, i tried two cans of FF turkey and Giblits to see if I just got a bad batch or he had a chicken intolerance develop and he threw it up 17 minutes after eating.
He acts COMPLETELY fine. energetic, happy, strong appetite. I've seen him sick before, and this is not him acting sick.....
I purchased some KOHA rabbit meat pate and introduced that slowly today at 1pm. he has had half a can of it so far, and NO vomiting.
Has anyone else had issues with FF recently? This seems like either a formula change in FF, or a food intolerance he has developed. He was last at the vet 7 months ago for teeth cleaning and wellness exam and checked out fine. Going to get him in next week for another visit to just rule out anything serious.
To be clear, this is not regurgitation. he licks lips, retches, and vomits 11-17 minutes after eating fancy feast. He does not do when when feeding only dry food. I have logged every feeding since sunday and it's stunning how predictable it has been.
