Question:
My cat Zoey has been losing weight and throwing up at least three times a week. I feed him the same food as always dry food and moist food he has water available anytime he needs a drink. He has also been sleeping a lot more. What could be causing this I have wormed him and give him hairball stuff but it does not seem to help.

Answer:
Andrea,
There are any number of things that can cause vomiting and weight loss in a cat, including parasites (intestinal or heartworms), hairballs/constipation, diabetes, hyperthyroidism or other metabolic problem. The fact that he is lethargic (sleeping a lot) makes it more worrisome. I would ask your vetenarian to do a complete physical exam and possibly bloodwork and/or x-rays ASAP!
Good luck to you and your kitty!
