My cat with food allergies still throws up often. What can I give her?

Question

I have a 4 year old female tuxedo cat who throws up several times over a few hour period every 2-3 weeks. After which, she's right back to being active, eating, drinking, playing, and using the litter box. I adopted her 2 years ago and discovered she has food allergies. After some testing, I've found a combo that mostly works but she still throws up every few weeks. Is there anything else I can give her to help with this problem? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 4 years and 7 months old | 9 lbs

Poor Darcy! Chronic stomach issues like this can be frustrating to manage in some cats. Good for you for getting her food allergies figured out, since this can often be a huge help in cats with this problem. Since she is still having some intermittent vomiting episodes, there are some other things that you could consider trying. First, a daily probiotic like Forti-Flora can be very helpful for some cats with chronic vomiting problems - this is very safe and does not have any risks or side effects, so it's a good option to try first. If this doesn't help, I would recommend talking to your vet about whether prescription medication may be helpful for Darcy. Anti-nausea medications like Cerenia, and oral steroids like prednisone are both potentially good options that can be given daily if needed to help prevent vomiting episodes.
