So for probably most of this year, I had Hobbes on one type of food. He only eats dry as hes a fucking snob now and wont eat wet anymore (even though he used to be on a strict raw and wet diet years back). Anyway, for whatever reason, I thought I'd change his diet to a brand Ive used in the past...this was around 11/10 (maybe a bit before). I did a poor job of weening him off one brand to the other and sure enough, he got SUPER backed up to the point where he was mega constipated. It finally got bad enough that I almost had to take him to the vet off hours but he finally took a human size log on my carpet and was semi back to a normal shit schedule.
I have since put him on the Science brand since its vet recommended for healthy shits and better GI movements. His turds are mostly small balls now, no smell. He goes once a day now typically, no out of box accidents.
My question, now with that story told, is he seems to throw up a bit more than usual....he rarely ever pukes unless hes sick but since the food shake up, hes puked a handful of times in the past few weeks. This morning, for example, he was sleeping on the bed with me, then jumped off, puked and went on his way. I came downstairs to check the rest of the house, no puke. His food bowl was empty (not much was left last night) so I filled it. He took a few bites, went to the first floor, puked a tiny bit and carried on about his morning.
Could the puking just be part of the dietary shake up? I dont think he has his usual blockage as hes going to the bathroom and I'm pretty good at telling when hes ingested a foreign object (years of practice, plus he cries). I know I should just make a vet appointment but he absolutely hates going there and I end up bloody trying to get him there...the vets also dont like working with him b/c for like 4 years straight he was there having stomach surgeries and needles stuck in him and he gets aggressive with them....its just a mess.
ANYWAY, I'm asking if any of you pet owners have experiences something similar with diet changes. Long story short
