Why is my cat still vomiting daily after multiple vet visits?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | 1 year and 1 month old | 9 lbs

My cat has been vomiting almost daily. After several vet visits and several hundred dollars, nothing seems to have helped for longer than 5 days. He has had xrays that came back clean, a clean stool sample, a steroid shot helped for a few days but he started vomiting again, his food was changed twice but he is still getting sick. He is now on a tapering dose of prednisolone but he is still vomiting daily.

That does sound frustrating. It is possible that Nigel May have a GI ulcer/acid reflux for which antacids such as omeprazole or Pepcid and a stomach protectant called sucralfste may be helpful. A Royal Canin Gastrointestinal diet is likely the best diet for him unless screening bloodwork reveals a liver or kidney issue as the cause of the vomiting. An internal medicine consult at a local specialty hospital would likely provide the most answers/they may recommend endoscopy which is usually very expensive. Good luck!
