Being excited about meal prep and then not eating is a classic sign of nausea to me. When you have a CKD kitty, constipation is a big issue. When they haven't pooped, there's nowhere for the food to go that they consume, so it builds up and creates nausea and what we would call indigestion. Ask...

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this. I have no words of wisdom for you, but hope the vet can figure it out. Oh wait! What about his B12? Did they check that? I would ask for a B12 shot even if his numbers are "good" to see if that gives him a boost.

I hope he starts eating soon!

He could be nauseous which is why he's not eating his food and why he's vomiting. I would ask the vet for an anti-nausea med such as Ondansetron (Zofran) which works better than Cerenia. Also, you may need an appetite stimulant and if the vet thinks it's IBD, then the normal treatment is a round...

We have noticed a difference on the "off" Prozac days than the days when he gets it. He eats better and is more personable.

@bethany5 you might want to start a new thread since the OP hasn't posted since 2016.

We already have bowl in various locations. I know he's drinking, but his output is lower than it has been in the past. That may also have something to do with the fact that he's not nauseous like he was previously and he's drinking less water.

When my IBD kitty was at his worst with an IBD flare, he was urinating all over the house. The vet prescribed Prozac for him daily for 30 days, then every other day for 30 days. It helped tremendously with the inappropriate urination, but not with the inappropriate pooping outside the box. When...

I crush between two spoons into wet food or you can try baby food or tuna juice.

This sounds exactly like asthma. I would either find a new vet or ask your vet to do a chest x-ray to check his lungs. Also, if you can get videos of him doing the gagging, that would be great to show the vet. You can check out Fritz the Brave's website for more info on asthma. Most treatment...

Is there an update on your kitty?

My cat has had gastroenteritis previously and he was running a fever, very lethargic, wouldn't eat, and all the things. His x-ray also showed a build up of gas and possibly a touch of constipation, though he had good poops. Most likely, it was caused by an intolerance to something in his food...

My vet told me early afternoon is a good time for a full bladder.

We have better luck with Ondansetron (Zofran) for nausea than Cerenia. We also will give plain Pepcid (over the counter, Famotadine 10 mg, 1/4 tablet) as needed for nausea. What I've found with my IBD kitty in regards to eating is that he likes his food fresh, so I open a new can and put half...

It could also be nausea, especially if he's not eating well.

Find another vet who will be more responsive to your concerns and not just send you home with a urine collection kit. A needle collection is actually the best way to collect urine.

I'd get him to the ER vet ASAP.

I don't have experience with beef. We feed my IBD kitty duck, venison, and turkey. I have another kitty who eats rabbit with pumpkin. Plain canned pumpkin puree is something else you can try to firm up his poops. Some kitties like it and some don't. Slippery Elm Bark syrup also works well. Bring...

I know with IBD kitties, sometimes probiotics can make things worse. Chicken and fish are both known to cause digestive issues with many cats. They don't tolerate either one very well, so trying a different protein is a good thing. Have you tried Metronidazole to help firm up poops>

It looks okay, but keep an eye on it. If it starts weeping, opens up, or turns angry red, then get her to the vet.
