Raw food questions, worried kitten throwing up

superabby Dec 14, 2003 11:51 PM

Hello,
My name is Nicole. I have been feeding my cat abby a raw food diet for a few months now. Recently I broght home a chausie kitten. Nala ( the Kitten) seemed fine on the raw food diet, (3 parts meat to 1 part veggies, with bonemeal and vities added) I have been using hamburger meat, but today switched to chicken thighs, I didn't grind it but instead chopped into medium chunks. She ate it all but an hour threw up everwhere, it looked like her food had not even been processed. I am confused if it was the kind of meat, too big off chunks or if she just ate too much. She tends to be a bit of a pig eating more then my older cat by tripple. Do I just need to regulate how much she eats?
Any help would be grateful
Sincerly Nicole

I am thinking that it is the texture of the food that may be causing the vomiting. If she is gulping it down, she might not be chewing it thoroughly. Try cutting it into smaller pieces and see what happens. Also try raising the dish so that she doesn't have to bend over to eat.

If she continues to vomit you probably will need to consult a vet.
