Any recommedations?
We have already taken him to the vet where they took x-rays, blood tests, etc. etc. They prescribed some medicine that was a laxative and that did not help either.
At home, we have switched over to hypoallergenic and hairball resistant foods, food restriction...and nothing seems to work.
I feel bad for the little guy. He throws up on a near nightly basis now. Any recommendations?

Stop making him watch the CW Network.

That might be it as my wife forces him to watch America's Next Top Model............

He's obviously getting ready for another choke job this Wednesday. ;)
Sorry I can't help. I don't like cats so I know little to nothing about them.

America's Next Top Model is the worst show I've ever had the displeasure of seeing. Fact.
But about the cat - when you say "keeps" puking, do you mean nightly? Hourly? Does he seem distressed by it? How old is he?

Our 10 year old female started this about a month ago, probably about twice a day, mostly undigested food. The vet suggested a $1000 scan, which we naturally denied, as a grand is pretty hard to come up with after already spending $600 on her. She prescribed a pill to be taken twice a day which seems to have done the trick. If you PM me, I'll find out the prescription.

2-0 once again. :(
Lot's of problems in el Tri.
Not a choke job though... US should be considered a favorite from now on on their home turf.
Now.... do you have anything useful to contribute? :D Hope all is well Sachin.

Hello.
It is about every other night. He starts playing right away. He is three years old.
On Craigslist, someone recommended a non-grain type of food and we have bought that and expect it soon. I will update and let everyone know how it works.

If this food change doesn't work...you will hear from me!

I assume you're not giving the cat any milk(?)

No way.
Anyway... we bought some grain free food. It seems to be working.....he has only puked once in the last two weeks since we started giving it to both our cats. At least it's not a daily thing anymore.
