Why does my cat keep throwing up her food when I add probiotics?

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. I would consider adding in a probiotic such as Purina Fortiflora, which can be found online or at your local pet store and see if this helps in addition to the new food. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further!

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. I would recommend switching to a different food such as a hydrolyzed protein diet and feed this for the next 4 weeks to see if this makes a difference. I would also add in a probiotic such as Purina Fortiflora, which can be found online or at your local pet store. If the vomiting persists or worsens, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine her so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

It's pretty odd that a cat won't eat food sprinkled with Fortiflora! In addition to probiotics, it is used as a flavor enhancer for cats with poor appetites. You may need to try a couple different foods to see what she is more interested in. Or discuss this development with your vet, as her poor appetite might not be caused by the Fortiflora and could be related to the upset stomach.

If yogurt is helping it is possible there could be an issue with the digestive tract flora, either from a food allergy, antibiotics, or other health issues. There are prescription veterinary probiotics available from your vet that may be useful to give Adzuki longer term if you've noticed probiotics are helping. I would schedule a visit with your vet to rule out any other health issues, and let them know how this has helped.

There's no evidence at all that these kind of supplements work, but if it does help with one of your cat's issues with vomiting, it's no harm to keep using it. Probiotics I only recommend when an animal is ill, such as with intestinal issues.

Yes, it sure could be making him sick. If he is acting fine in every other way then I suggest you just stop with the canned food for now. If you want to try again at a later date then maybe try a different brand/flavor of food. If he is acting sick on top of vomiting then I suggest you get Simba to your vet for an exam now. You may want to consider feeding him a probiotic for the next week or so to help with settling his system. You can use any probiotic made for cats - no human products or dairy. http://www.allivet.com/p-1890-purina-pro-plan-veterinary-diets-fortiflora-cat-supplement-box-of-30.aspx Hope this helps.

This is very unlikely to solve the problem, Orijen is one of the best cat food out there, if one of your cat is vomiting quite often this is probably non related to the food. there could be many reason for chronic vomiting, you should take him to the vet in order to get it checked.
