When was Marshmallow put on Urinary SO? If he was just put on the food and he wasn't gradually transitioned to it they can get an upset stomach from it. If this is the case I would call your veterinarian for a bland diet and potentially an antacid to help settle his stomach then do a gradual transition to the new food. If Marshmallow has been on the food for some time, it is less likely the food and more likely something else is going on with Marshmallow. If this is the case I would recommend a visit with your veterinarian and potentially some X-rays making sure there is not foreign body obstruction and some blood work looking for pancreatitis. Your veterinarian can also give him medication to help stop the vomiting and settle his stomach. If you are uncomfortable with the food that they put him on there are other prescription diets for cats you can always ask your veterinarian which other ones they recommend.
