According to your description, your cat's new diet may be causing increased vomiting. It's essential to determine if this is a short-term reaction or an indication of intolerance or more severe issue.
- Monitor your cat's symptoms closely.
- New foods can sometimes cause stomach upset.
- Consult with a vet if symptoms persist or worsen.
When introducing a new diet, especially one formulated for specific health issues like struvite crystals, it's not uncommon for some cats to experience gastrointestinal upset, including vomiting. This may be a temporary adjustment, but if the vomiting continues for more than a few days or seems severe, it may indicate that the specific food doesn't agree with your cat. Keeping your cat hydrated and contacting your veterinarian for a tailored recommendation is advisable.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
