We have a 8 year old orange and white male cat. Lately, he barfs a milky-white and/or clear substance everyday but not after he eats. He has a normal, cold, wet nose and looks and acts healthy for the most part although he is a bit lethargic. This kitty is also overweight but for a reason: Several years ago, he stopped eating and got very skinny (boney) so we took him to a Vet and the diagnosis was he was in liver failure. The vet said we should put him down because he didn't have much of a chance of survival. Instead of following his advice, we force-fed him a special diet and also gave him Shaklee liver detox for 3 days. It was one pill crushed up per day. in fact after the first treatment he began to eat. We did that for about 8 days and lo and behold, he began eating regular food on his own and fully recovered. But now- 3 years later- this clear and milky barfing issue came up. If this wet, sticky-looking barf is allowed to dry, it leaves yellow/brown stain. Also about 10 days ago we had to treat him and the other two cats we have with Acarexx for ear mites. We rescued a cat that was about a year old and she brought in the mites. Our two other cats have always been indoor kitties and now the kitten is too,
