Why is my cat with kidney disease throwing up after eating daily?

Question

Hi! My cat has been throwing up every morning after we feed her. We've tried raising her bowl, putting a toy in her bowl to slow her down, and feeding her a bit less. Her hairballs are under control, we alternate which food she eats, and I don't think she has a food allergy. She does have kidney problems, and receives sub-cu fluids weekly. She is on a special Kidney diet. We are taking my dog in tomorrow for a vaccine, and his vet's the same as Violet's, I can talk to her then. Thanks! Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Female | spayed | 13 years and 3 months old

Poor Violet! Vomiting is unfortunately a common problem for cats with kidney disease - your vet can prescribe medication for her to help control this. I would definitely talk with your vet about the problem at your dog's appointment tomorrow to see if she agrees that this would be helpful, or if she recommending bringing Violet in for a recheck and some lab work to make sure that she doesn't have some other problem that could be causing the vomiting.
