Still regurgitating every 2-3 days. I'm starting to wonder about the Vets'-Best formula change, and if that's the culprit.
I think I forgot to post about that here, I'll need to make a thread. Back in early summer they changed the formula some what. They claim it hasn't changed all that much and the cellulose that is listed on the new label, was always in there, but it just wasn't on the label before. I am having my doubts about that now.
I did a very slow transition from the old formula to the new. Queen Eva and Jennie aren't affected by it. But they only get Vets-Best once a week.
Anyway, she's maintaining now, but it's, again, costing me my after work walk to manage it.
:(
You may be on to something with the Vet's Best. You're very intuitive so (no pun intended) you might want to "go with your gut." Esp. after reading DeeDee's post. I'm wondering if there's some other fiber you can give her that would be gentler and easier for her to tolerate.

Edit: Totally weird thought, but I'm tossing it out there anyway. I have to say, my brain turned to oatmeal early yesterday and hasn't solidified yet, so this may be bogus. That said . . . I'm wondering if grinding up a small carrot, very fine, and adding (some of) that to Mazy's food would be a good fiber replacement for the Vet's Best. I know you said pumpkin's not an option, and psyllium absorbs water.
I don't know if she'd eat it. Even if she did, I don't know if she would tolerate it or if it would work. It was just something that popped in my head as a possible option for fiber. :-\
I did a super-quick search for other fiber options and found this on chia seeds. Others would have to do more research, but I wanted to at least share (this is a pro-chia site, so it's not objective):
http://www.chiaseedspot.com/chia-seeds-for-cats-a-win-win/ Chia seed is a type of herb that grows annually. It grows up to approximately three feet long and has tiny leaves with white and purple flowers.
It is usually converted in gel-form which is used to cure digestive problems or upset stomachs among cats. Chia works simply to treat your cat’s stomach anxiety.
Due to its gel-like property, chia seed can hold liquid twelve times its size and act as coating to the intestines and lining of the stomach to ease discomfort in cats.
Desirable taste – It is not difficult to feed chia seeds to your cat because of its neutral taste. It doesn’t affect flavors or typical taste of a cat food. In other words, feeding your cat with chia seeds will not produce an undesirable taste.
One thing that concerns me is that it holds liquid. That's one reason why I'd be more interested in superfine chopped carrots. I don't think it would hold nearly as much water, if any. They're mostly water themselves, and fiber.
Ok, "brain fart" over. :)
