Question
Hi, I've already asked a couple questions to Tina about my 4 month old kitten,Roxy. I asked her about my kitten and why she may be throwing (she just has worms and was treated) and she told me that there could be an obstruction in Roxy's intestines. Now I will get that checked out as we are going to the vet soon but I was also wondering if maybe the throwing up could be due to her eating treats, she wasn't eating the treats that I had, so I went out and bought some different ones so that I could see if she liked them. Turned out she loved them so I fed them to her. Everytime I fed them to her, that night, sometime that day or the next morning I would find that she had thrown up. I stopped feeding them to her to see what would happen and she hasn't thrown up since. So should I try feeding them to her again so that I can see if she throws up or would this make the problem worse? Thanks very much for your time.

Answer
If you give her the treats and she throws up it could be a coincidence or the culprit.  However, if you don't feed her the treats and she stops throwing up I think your answer is clear:  it's the treats.  

My recommendation is stop the treats you believe may be causing it.  If she continues to throw up go see the vet for sure.

Good luck!
