Some pics of Lance and his sister:

I'm really sorry for the radio silence: I hadn't noticed that the thread had updated, and then things were too chaotic and I couldn't find the time to write. But I'm back now! Where we're at: Lance went back to vomiting on an empty stomach almost daily, especially after the switch to RAWZ...

He's dry retched twice on an empty stomach this morning again, so I think it's fair to say he's having symptoms consistent with his condition before chemo. I don't know what to think. I need to write to the internist and the oncologist with my concerns but it's so emotionally hard. At the very...

Thank you so much!! Please take your time in replying, we're all here in the long run hopefully. The oncologist called us and...... Everything is normal! They checked all the lymphonodes, all his organs, and the thickness of his stomach and intestines and nothing is showing up. So, long story...

We took away the Cerenia yesterday and he puked again tonight. I was hoping it was just a coincidence (or the fact that we had run out of cisapride), but then I woke up this morning and found he had likely puked water mixed with a little bit of fur in the living room. Puking on an empty stomach...

...so I wrote all this and then he retched again today, after two weeks of nothing. Nothing came out, and we had forgotten to give him the usual Cisapride/Cerenia/Ondansentron combo we give. Hopefully it was the lack of Cisapride that made him not empty his stomach quickly enough. Aaaaah, the...

@Maiaiam thank you so much for writing! It's remarkable how similar the paths of our two kitties have been. Just highlighting some of the similarities: - Her bloodwork has always looked perfectly normal, even during chemo - When I've tried to eliminate or reduce, she will begin to vomit either...

Sorry for the late reply, I've had a couple of eventful weeks with our other cat also getting sick and once they both got better I took some time off thinking about their health issues to just enjoy them. Before I reply to the other posts, an update on Lance: we removed the TCVM medication...

Hello, coming back with what's hopefully the almost-final update: After the last post, we kept her on Cerenia for around a week, during which her activity/hunger levels kept improving. We then stopped Cerenia around 4-5 days ago, and she hasn't vomited since! Fingers crossing, it was an acute...

He hasn't retched in the past couple days, but I still see him more nauseous than usual. It isn't super overt, and I might be looking at him a bit too closely, but I've seen him hang out at the water bowl a bit more often than I'd like. The good news is that when he does he gets his back up and...

She has slept the whole day but has gladly come out to eat. She has also paced nauseously around a bit, and my heart was sinking, but she didn't puke. Hopefully she gets through the night ok, makes it to her next dose of cerenia without puking, and her energy levels improve. She gets so scared...

Got the call! Her blood panel looks great, and her ultrasound showed nothing. They found her intestinal walls slightly thickened, but it seemed more consistent with current inflammation than IBD/SCL. They're sending her home with supportive care, and they expect her appetite to improve in 2-3...

Here's all the exams they're telling us they'll run. Seems pretty complete to me.

Thank you all. She's at the hospital currently. The doctor called us and went through the exams they'll do: ultrasound, complete blood panel, urinalysis, pancreas enzymes and a fecal check. We asked them to run everything they can run since we don't want to sedate her again for more tests. I...

...and as soon as I wrote this she puked again. Yellow bile with foam. Guess we might bring her there a little bit earlier.

Hello, my female Cat (Mou, 6yo) was having problems with a UTI and was given a course of 7 days of Clavamox. The morning of the 7th day, she puked an hairball. This is unusual for her, but we weren't particularly worried. I gave her the last dose. Towards the afternoon/evening she started...

The weird thing has been that he's had lack of thickening since the very beginning, which was used to exclude IBD/cancer until eventually we checked his stomach and found the walls of it were all inflamed (and found signs of cancer in the biopsies). Whatever he has, he clearly doesn't have the...

Lancelot had his visit yesterday, and the ultrasound was clear!! They found no masses, nor thickening, nor any enlarged lymph nodes, which make cancer issues "unlikely". The internist suspects Lance has "poor esophageal motility" rather than/in addition to IBD. According to them, IBD cats...

Thank you, those are good thing to hear regarding Cerenia not always stopping these issues. He started puking during a break from it, so I started it again. Regarding whether the Happy Earth is helping, we actually did start a couple weeks ago, right after his first regurgitation after chemo...

Yeah, it's likely regurgitation, which is what he always had issues with. We've been feeding him 6 meals per day since he was a kitten exactly for this reason. We also switched proteins at the time to get his vomit down. He was doing fine with the occasional flare up, until he started vomiting...
