She eats, then throws up - sometimes in massive quantities, then eats again and the cycle repeats. Sometimes she'll go a day or so without eating, but then her appetite will return. She is not constipated, neither does she have diarrhea. She doesn't throw up hairballs, either, but mostly just the canned cat food (doesn't matter what brand or variety or texture) and lots of saliva. She's been to the vet recently and had a full blood workup - no thyroid problems, no diabetes, and no tumors that we can feel. She's an indoor cat but does like to get outside when we open the door and then she'll go and chew on grass, which of course, makes her vomit even more. I just walked into my son's room and it looks like vomit armeggedon - there's huge amounts all over the bed, sheets and floor. And it's very "wet". I just don't know what to do anymore. I've called the vet and she doesn't seem very concerned - just said "she's old." I'm not sure what to do - find another vet? Poor cat is just wasting away.
