Why does my cat throw up food hours after eating, only at night?

Question

My cat has been throwing up his food anywhere from 2-6 hours after he eats and only during the night. He has been seen by multiple vets and none of them have been able to tell us why. He does have liver and kidney disease, he is currently being treated for mineral deposits in his bile duct as well, but his vets say it is not related. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 6 years and 4 months old | 10 lbs

Poor guy. If sounds like he may have a motility issue. I would recommmend a test called an esophagram. This test involves giving a radioactive dye orally and taking images of it as it moves along your pets GI tract. This will help identify where the food is getting stuck in your pets body and the most likely cause. I hope this helps. Best of luck moving forward with your pet Gio and I hope you get to the bottom of his vomiting episodes soon. Take care.
