It's concerning when your cat continues to vomit even after changing her diet based on veterinary advice. It's possible she may still be adjusting to the new food, but if the vomiting persists, a follow-up check-up is advisable.
- Monitor your cat's behavior and vomiting frequency.
- A follow-up with your vet can ensure there are no underlying issues.
- Diet changes can take some time for adjustment; a gradual transition may help.
Introducing new food can sometimes cause temporary digestive upset. It's important to transition your cat to a new diet slowly, over 7-10 days, by mixing increasing amounts of the new food with the old. However, if your cat is experiencing frequent vomiting, a vet visit is recommended to rule out other complications like allergies or more serious conditions.
