My cat keeps pooping and puking everywhere. Should I see a vet?

Question

Peanut has had what i’m assuming to be IBS for some time. I was using BM-tone up and special food (which he wasn’t really eating), and giving him CBD oil incase it was stress caused. He’s recently started pooping and puking downstairs so I now keep him in my room. He poops everywhere, all the time. Last night he pooped in the litter box, then on the floor next to it, then he puked, and then he pooped right on my floor in front of me (all consecutive, within minutes of each other). What to do? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 16 lbs

Poor Peanut! It definitely sounds like something is wrong. If he hasn't been seen by a veterinarian yet for this issue, that's what I would suggest as a starting point. There are many things that can cause chronic GI issues like this in cats, including inflammatory bowel disease, chronic pancreatitis, a food allergy or intolerance to something in his diet, or even a systemic illness like hyperthyroidism. Many of these issues are very treatable with medication and/or a special diet once a diagnosis is made, so there's a good chance your veterinarian will be able to help. I would recommend taking him in for a visit as soon as you're able to.
