My female cat is 9 years old. We moved about a year ago, and she hasn't been the same since, very low energy, and lost almost half of her body weight. She is currently 7.4 lbs.
The vet ran tests and showed she is deficient in vitamin B. They also noticed something in her blood work pointing to pancreatitis. She was on anti nausea meds but now only requires one or two per week.
She is not vomiting as much as she used to. Went from heavy vomiting 1 time per day to now probably twice per week.
My concern is that she is starving, she wakes me up throughout the night for food, and will eat it off of a spoon when I feed it to her, but she doesn't seem to be eating enough.
The vet's next step is an ultrasound, but he said he doesn't suspect cancer because of her appetite. We know something is wrong and we are just guessing right now.
Does anyone have any experience anything like this? Is it worth getting a 2nd opinion or just keep performing expensive tests even though they have been inconclusive so far?
