He has been getting cottage cheese once a day lately, about half a teaspoon mixed with his kibble as I ran out of yogurt (he's a picky eater - has never had an issue with the plain yogurt tho and eats well when I use it). I'm starting to think that could be the cause as it's high in protein, and he's never handled large amounts of protein well. That's why he eats a low protein diet. I feel pretty bad for not even realizing that I was giving him something that could make him so sick, but I hope that's it as it's an easy fix. No more for him, ever. |
Has the cause of this been determined? Sensitivity to high protein diets and vomiting are both symptoms of liver shunt.

Regardless there is an underlying cause that needs to be determined.
