sensitive tum - what food?

Hi everyone.

My name is Lucy and me and my older cat Bailey (he's around 14ish.. so senior) have been through alot recently trying to figure out his health and nutritional needs. After loads of tests at the vets it turns out hes got a liver problem and a slight heart murmur, but everything else seems fine. (Kidneys were the initial worry but they've come back stable for now). Unfortunately he still gets the symptoms of soft stools and occasional vomiting (bile mostly but it has been food on certain occasions). Vet said it could be iritable bowels caused by bad liver. We've got him antibiotics at the moment for 10 days. Other than that the vet gave us a tin of hills I/D to try him on. Seeing as he's managed to eat that, sometimes reluctantly, we're probably gonna get some more for the duration of however long he should be on this diet.. (I've actually forgotten how long to feed him it for?) He's also having IAMS dry biscuits but I'm thinking of getting James Wellbeloved since it's better quality food. After his Hills I/D diet for his sensitive stomach, I'm wondering whether I should just get some royal canin sensitivity wet and continue with that seeing as he doesn't seem able to hold down most foods? I'm also not sure how much to feed him of the pouches, he eats little and often (so up to four small!! portions a day) because he's fussy. He's underweight at 3kg. What do you suggest?
