My cat dry heaves for minutes at a day, but does not puke. I have recently changed her food to a higher end brand, but still mix the old food in as well. This was after she kept vomiting the wet food I used to put in. What should I do?

Poor girl. It sounds like she may have either a hairball issue here or potentially a sensitive stomach that is getting better now that she is only dry heaving and not vomiting up the wet food. I would consider getting her on a hairball formula first along with continuing to transition her to the new food. Here is one to consider --> petsmart.com/cat/dental-care-and-wellness/hairball-remedy/gnc-pets-petrolatum-free-hairball-formula-cat-gel-12330.html I would also recommend brushing her more frequently to reduce the amount of hair she ingests when she grooms. This often can help the most with hairball problems in cats. If she continues to gag despite all of this, then it is bst to get her examined by your vet for further diagnostics and care. I hope that Neema's gagging episodes resolve soon! Best of luck and take care.
