Default Cat with gastritis, need advice

Hi people,

I'm new to this board so this is my first posting. I arrived here looking for help about a treatment for my cat who has been diagnosed with gastritis.

My cat is a 2 y.o spayed Devon Rex, she has been a good eater, eats only 2 brands of food so a bit picky maybe.
Her diet consist of Tuna from Solid Gold, Solid Gold Indigo Moon kibble(grain free) and a few times a week she eats Freeze Dried Raw Instinct from Natures Variety.

Up till now she has done really well, shiny coat, happy playful and content.

Until last Wednesday evening, she threw up during the night. I had no clue it was her as we have 2 other Devons as well so it could have been anyone.

She came up to me for her breakfast, I gave her her Tuna and which she happily ate. While I was preparing the other cats' breakfast I saw her throwing up. after a couple of hours she let me know she was hungry and wanted to eat, I again gave her some Tuna which she threw up again.

I know it wasn't the tuna because one other kitty ate the tuna and she's fine. She vomited a couple of times during the day and started to look ill. I let her fast on Friday to see if that would settle her stomach but she againg vomited after a few bites on Saturday morning.

Luckily we could be seen by the vet right away, we agreed on that she didn't ate anything wrong, they took her away for x-rays and gave her fluids. No blockage was seen on the x-rays in the stomach or intestines. x-rays were sent to the radiologist who also looked at it and couldn't find anything wrong. We picked her up later that day and hoped for the best and that time would heal.

I carefully offered some food on Sunday, not interested, at night she apparently ate some kibble that was left out for the other kitties and she vomited again. Today, Monday, I offered some tuna, she took a few licks and than turned away, I tried a couple of more times but she doesn't want to eat. If she doesn't start to eat they want her back for further test and more fluid.

I agree on the need for fluids, however she a very clingy one-person cat and does not well in a strange environment. She hides in her cage and is totally stressed out when they try to grab her and feed her. When she came back from her stay at the vet she needed 2 days before she let me pick her up and hold her again. I don't want to add more stress to her with her already upset tummy.

I always treated my animals holistic and with homeopathy if possible, I tried Carbo Vegetalis, she threw that back up again. I desperately want to try homeopathy before I need to result to conventional medicine.

Any suggestions? Nux Vomica perhaps?

Sorry for this first posting to be such a novel but I wanted to include as much info as possible.

Thanks in advance!
