Hi and thanks for posting! I am sorry to hear about the vomiting. Vomiting within a few mins after eating can be an indication of a parasitic infection, certainly, but can also signal other problems such as a gastrointestinal obstruction, gastric ulcer, food sensitivities, or certain esophageal disorders. If your cat has been properly dewormed, intestinal worms may be less likely. You may want to revisit with your veterinarian for additional tests such as an x-ray to help rule out gastrointestinal orders or an obstruction as a cause. I hope this helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
