You're doing the right thing by asking about your cat's reaction to the Hills C/D diet. Vomiting and diarrhea can be concerning, especially if your cat typically has a sensitive stomach or has only recently switched to this food.
One potential cause is that your cat might be having difficulty adjusting to the new diet. Sometimes, a sudden change in food can upset their digestive system. If this was a recent transition, consider gradually mixing increasing amounts of the Hills C/D with their previous diet over 7-10 days to allow their stomach to adjust.
If the vomiting and diarrhea continue or are severe, it could be a sign of an allergy or intolerance to an ingredient in the Hills C/D formula. Monitor your cat for any other symptoms, like lethargy, loss of appetite, or noticeable weight loss, as these could indicate a more serious issue.
At home, ensure your cat stays hydrated, as vomiting and diarrhea can quickly lead to dehydration. You can also offer small, frequent meals to ease their digestion.
However, if these symptoms persist or worsen, it’s crucial to seek veterinary advice promptly. Book a video consult with Dial A Vet so we can assess your cat’s symptoms more closely and provide tailored guidance based on your cat's health history and current condition.
Hills C/D causing occasional vomiting and diarrhea for one cat.
Help, what do I do? Our boy Mittens has been on Hills C/D for a while now, but recently—like maybe the past couple of weeks—I've noticed him having these random bouts of vomiting and diarrhea. It's not every day, but it's enough that I'm starting to worry a bit. It usually happens later in the evening, after he's had his dinner, and he's just not his usual playful self afterwards. I thought maybe he was just getting into something he shouldn't, but I've been super careful about keeping his food and water bowls clean and making sure he can't get into anything toxic. Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be the food, and if so, is there a better option out there for preventing these issues without compromising on his health needs? Any advice would be appreciated!
