Mr. Softie’s tummy has been bothering him again and I can’t get him to the vet anytime soon. Every couple of days he throws up stomach acid and his poops are very runny. If any other hexbear out there has experience with a cat like this, is there any food you recommend?

I don’t know, I haven’t had a cat since I was a kid but I really hope Mr Softie is alright

Someone please help

My sanity couldn’t handle feeding her more frequently because she screams at me the whole time im getting the food. At least now she only yells at me when it’s food time. Or an hour before food time. Or when my gf feeds her and she thinks she can get me to feed her again

My cat was very sickly and always threw up after she ate unless it was wet food. Eventually I found a dry food that helped but she only got through about a bag and a quarter before she passed.

pets dying should be illegal. It’s a problem that we need to solve

What are you currently feeding him? You can try putting him on a bland diet which is just like poached chicken and rice but that’s only a short term solution. If it helps you would probably want to slowly start introducing different ingredients to see what could be causing the issues.

Also if you can try spreading out feedings more and doing a few small meals a day rather than 1-2 big ones. Obviously not feasible for everyone so YMMV

Yeah echoing what other people said it’s gonna be a bit of trial and error but switching it up to some sensitive stomach food wouldn’t hurt. Adding wet food to his diet may help as well.
