He seems to be doing a bit better. We tried prednisolone and ampicillin on Monday and when he came home he had a much better appetite. Went back on Tuesday to do a follow up and they felt good about sending him home with a prescription for prednisolone and a shot of convenia antibiotics. His...

Yah I’m definitely going to ask, I realize gas isn’t the cause of everything that’s happening and is just a symptom but I really want to alleviate the discomfort so he can hopefully eat and keep things down. The idea of him having surgery and being so weak and thin scares me.

He’s back at the vet for the day. They’re doing another ultrasound and x ray at no cost because they still think it could be a blockage and they’re giving him more fluids. We’ll be discussing scoping or exploratory surgery at the end of the day. We can’t really afford to wait any longer because...

Update: Winston had diarrhea twice last night but it wasn’t nearly as bad as it was when this all started. I let the vets office know while I was picking up the cerenia and they said it could be just from him eating a new food but they’d let the vet know. I got home, gave him 1/4 of a pill and...

Ultrasound report is in and the only thing they found was evidence of gastroenteritis. There was some thickening of the gall bladder wall but they aren’t concerned about that because his blood work was normal. I’ll be keeping him on hills a/d for the next little bit and picking up a prescription...

Yes they did and it came back negative

I gave the vet a call and let them know how much he had eaten and the receptionist seemed pleased with it, also told her about the litter box behaviour and how he hadn’t peed. Luckily he ended up having a normal pee right after I got off the phone with them. She is concerned that he’s still not...

They weren’t concerned about it when went into the litter box the first time without peeing Jan 17 because he peed at the clinic on the 18th and it was a healthy amount with no strain and then two more times at home that night. Throughout this whole ordeal Jan 17 and Jan 19 have been the only 2...

I’m blanking on the name of the sedative but it wore off at around 9pm last night and his energy levels were almost back to pre-sickness. It’s the first time he’s actually wanted to play. I did end up getting hills a/d and got him to eat almost half a can last night, he still doesn’t want to...

Update on the ultrasound: They didn’t see anything unusual while they were doing it except for some gas that’s also been showing up on his x rays. They will have a full report within 48hrs. He’s at home now and still quite sedated but I was able to get him to eat about a tablespooon of wet food...

They haven’t done a stool sample but I’ll bring that up tomorrow. It’s at a point now where it’s hard to get stool because he’s not eating but I’ll see what they say

Yah I’ve been offering him his dry food (Nulo) and his normal wet food (tiki) as well 5 different brands and flavours of wet food, boiled chicken, scrambled egg. I’m going to try poached salmon tonight. I’ll try baby food as well. He hasn’t been drinking water but has been getting iv fluids...

My cat Winston (3yrs old 10lbs) has been sick for the last days. Started with puking and diarrhea on Jan 12 and on Jan 13 puking, blood in diarrhea, and refusing food. I took him straight to an emergency vet when I saw the blood and they kept him overnight for fluids and to do an x ray and blood...
