With A Little Help From My Friends - Update On Cal

**Update on Cal**
First we would like to think all of our friends in the blogosphere for their purrs and purrayers for Cal. It means so much to us!

Cal is so glad to be back home from the vet visit. The vet performed a blood chemistry panel, which checked his glucose, liver function, kidney function, etc. It all came back normal! Yay! The vet said it was probably a sensitivity to his new food. The food upset his tummy and caused him to vomit so much that he began to vomit up a little blood. This is probably from irritation in the lining of the stomach or esophagus. Cal is down to 9 lbs, he was 14 lbs this time last year, so that worries me. He was his usual bad boy self at the vet, which makes it hard for him to be throughly examined. He was given an injection of Metoclopramide (Reglan) for nausea and vomiting. He vomited again when we got home, but hopefully the injection will start working soon and he can eat again.

I know some of you are lucky to live in areas where you have access to holistic veterinarians, in these parts we don't have any nearby. I would much rather use something natural to help cure Cal of his tummy upset. Does anyone out there have any advice for some good remedies for cats with sensitive stomachs who vomit frequently??

Thanks again for all the purrs and purrayers!
