My cats are throwing up food. What non-prescription food helps?

Question

Two of my cats are throwing up their food more than once a day. One is a miniture cat weighing 6 lbs. What food do you recommend without a prescription? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 2 months old | 6 lbs

That could be due to an infective gastroenteritis as two of them are affected. A first line approach, hoping their own immune system will sort out the possible infection is to withhold food for the next 12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken (or white fish) and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
