My cat pukes up food and liquid

Can dry cat food cause this?

I'm putting her on wet food to see how she does but she has puked that up before too.
I recently spent $424 on her dental bill where they removed 5 teeth. She was on anti-biotics for ten days and didn't puke at all. As soon as she could eat dry food again, within two days she puked it all up. I'm not talking a little pile of puke, I'm talking about the liquid flying out of her mouth.

Poor thing. Any advice or help you can provide will be appreciated.

Hi well she may have got into the habit of gulping her food down. My cat did this when she too had some bad teeth.

i would advise giving her smaller meals but more regularly this will stop her eating too much food at one go.

Dry food would not cause this problem, in fact I only feed my cats dry food as it encourages them to drink water and this is good for their urinary health.

best wishes Kate
