Why does my cat throw up daily despite trying many solutions?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 5 years and 1 month old | 8 lbs

I have a 5 year old cat that has thrown up once a day since she was 1. I have tried fortiflora, grain free, sensitive stomach, brushing her hair often, the vet gave me a paste for hairball just in case it was that and finally my last attempt has been an l.i.d. diet. What she throws up in mostly just yellow liquids. The other day I read something about raising their bowls up. I thought that was working. Now that I have done that she is throwing up her food instead of just liquids.

Poor Foxie! I would definitely talk to your vet about having additional tests done like a GI panel done. A GI panel tests for B12, folate and two pancreatic enzymes. I would also talk to your vet about trying a daily antacid. I hope this helps!
