I'm so sorry. Just out of curiosity, are you still giving pumpkin? Pookie was still having hairballs so I've had to keep him on the pumpkin, though now it's once a day instead of twice. If she still gets the pumpkin, then I'm stumped.
Is there a holistic vet near you that you could try? I know they're hard to find, depending on where you're located.
Been there, still doing that on occasion. It wears you down, esp. when you don't know how to help. It's very upsetting to see our furkids having problems. For what it's worth, you're not alone, sweetie. We're here for you.
Thank you SO MUCH for your support. When I came home tonight the stench of the vomit was still very strong. Regurgitated food should not smell that bad, which tells me that her earlier meal was still churning in her stomach and came up, too. So...this seems more like a digestive issue.
yes, she is still getting the pumpkin. She gets one tablespoon split between three meals a day. She is getting hairball gunk every four or five days. Early this morning there was a puddle of vomit with bits of fur mats in it, which I suspected was hers. There was no fur in the regurgitation. She kept the nugget of S&C down and her first supper meal down, too. I had given her a pepcid (1/4 tablet) after her regurgitation.
She gets a probiotic every night.
So, maybe it's not an esophagus problem, maybe it's still the same old issue, her system is just so messed up from all those years on the c/d she is still producing too much acid in her tummy at times.
If my vet suggests another prescription food I'll strangle her.
Wait till she hears I'm starting to feed raw, a little.
. Well the freeze dried/rehydrated version anyway. Actually, I don't even know what her thoughts are on raw, we've never discussed it. But we will be discussing it, next week!
PS No holistic vets within a hundred miles or more.
