digestive enzymes

Question
One of my cats has IBD. The other has CRF.
I purchased human digestive enzymes and was putting one capsule in their food for the last 24 hours. One capsule per can of food. The cat with CRF was vomiting like crazy and I have never seen this cat vomit before.

Would human digestive enzymes be too strong for a cat? Apparently they have made my cat with CRF very sick.

I was doing it for the cat with the IBD "for good measure" but now am wondering if I should get cat digestive enzymes which are sold online at a holistic site.

I am wondering why human digestive enzymes made my cat with CRF so sick in a 24 hour period. She started to vomit immediately upon tasting the food with the enzymes in it (powdered) and when I did it again today, she started to vomit again...immediately. My cat with IBD don't eat the food.

So I am going to return the human digestive enzymes to the store I purchased them at around here. They are a very good store and will understand.

Why couldn't a cat take in human enzymes withoug tons of vomit. I was putting one capsule per smnall can of food thinking I was really doing them  a favor.

Thank you so much.

Answer
Digestive enzymes are produced in the pancreas and salivary glands and help to break down the protein, carbohydrate, and fat components of food for use by the body. As animals age, the production of these enzymes often slows down. Deficiencies can also be genetically-related and symptoms will show up among kittens and puppies.Well I would want to know the full history but feel that maybe the cat has some other issues , has she been checked for hypothyroidism or cancer diabetes or renal failure which may well create such a hostile environment that would permeate in vomiting.
If this was my cat I would immediately commence in smaller meals, NO dairy, use a natural raw diet low in fat such as ground chicken or duck or turkey with some veggies and supplement using cranberry extract to aid the kidneys and bladder. If she has an inability to drink water through either lack of appetite or not used to it I would suggest giving her some tinned cat food mixed with water and if necessary spoon feed her, or use tinned tuna in spring water mixed and hand feed her this.
It is important to ensure she is vet checked for diabetes and hypothyroidism, but her diet no matter what is essential to her future.
Cats are not suppossed to eat dry diets no matter what any vet says, they are desert animals and require HIGH quality proteins and water lots of it and some pulped veggies like peas carrots for fibre. They DONOT require grains of any kind.

Please start a natural diet today and keep me updated
good luck kitty mummy and baby xxxx
