Tagging ya'll bc ya'll help me regulate his insulin. I'm open to any suggestions.
I haven't posted in a while because we have been doing so well. Tuko has remained off insulin with me periodically checking his BG. He is still on Fancy Feast pate - typically 1 can in AM, 1 can at +5, 1 can at PM and 1 can at +5. Sometimes he eats all of this and sometimes he only eats about half, it just depends on the day. Today I woke up around 6:30 AM and heard him vomiting. He has thrown up plenty in his lifetime but never this much. This was a light brownish color (looked like the color of his food). I waited and only fed him 1/2 can around 11AM and had plenty of water available (which I never see him drink since we switched to wet food). He did not throw up again. I had to leave home around 2pm and was back by 4:30 and again, there's vomit in the floor (again, light brown with some hairball), much much less this time (but he only had 1/2 can to eat this AM). On Monday, he didn't have any poop in his litter box but yesterday had more than average so I feel like he should be fine as far as GI goes. I am at a loss as to why this would happen out of the blue. My only idea is I started introducing FF beef pate back into his diet. I previously used it and he seemed to vomit with that flavor so I stopped completely. For several months he hasn't had it. He always did fine with beef/liver, beef/chicken flavors so I just left the plain beef out. I only started back bc I had so much of it and I wanted to use it if I could. Last night he had chicken/liver which has lately been his favorite. And today was mixed grill for this AM. He is alert/playful/purring and acting completely normal. I do not have any nausea meds from the vet (I do have human zofran). Obviously, I won't let this go on for days but I do work tomorrow and am starting to worry more since he also threw up this afternoon. I am hesitant to take him to the vet acting as normal as he is now because I know they will want to sedate him for the exam (which I don't want to put him through the stress of unnecessarily and its a extra cost).
*I heard him him litter box - he had poop and pee (all appeared like his normal and he didn't appear to have any trouble going to the bathroom).
Any ideas or suggestions??
Thanks in advance.
