Why is my senior cat vomiting daily, losing appetite, and air chewing?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Turkish Angora | Female | spayed | 17 years and 7 months old | 5 lbs

Marshmellow is vomiting from 1 to over 10 times a day. She eats and drinks. Last couple days has been less interested in food but still eats. See bio for much more history. Slightly elevated ALT, 128 i believe. All other tests ok. She may be old but she is overall extremely healthy aside from this issue. Constantly air chewing/biting. Obviously not feeling well. Xrays normal. Like 4 small objects in kidneys, vet said of no concern. Any ideas?

Hi. There are many possible causes for vomiting from primary GI to secondary GI causes. If blood work or x-rays didn't get us many answers, I would move forward with an ultrasound as that much vomiting isn't normal. I would also recommend asking your veterinarian for a prescription bland diet during this time. Good luck
