Boots is going to the vet so they can run some tests and prescribe prednisone or another similar drug for his eosinophilic stomatitis. Last night he stayed in the same spot in the cat room for about 4 hrs and vomited clear fluid. He had the growths removed from his throat 2 weeks or so ago but he's doing just as bad now as when I brought him in. They first believed they were cancerous tumors but when the tissue sample was tested they found out he has the eosinophilic stuff. His throat, mouth area is so inflamed. It's a very bad case. I'm really hoping prednisone works because I hate seeing him in this much pain. Some family members have been telling me I need to have him euthanized but I won't do it unless he's in severe pain and there's no way I would be able to save his life through medical intervention. It's been so hard the last few days. He comes in to sleep by me in my bed as he does every night, and his breathing is so intense. I'm hoping whatever med they give him today works wonders. I'm kind of a wreck seeing him this way. It's only been 15 months since I adopted him. He's 12 going on 13 and it's not that old for a cat. I'd like to also look for alternative treatments. He does get probiotics, enzymes, joint supplements, homeopathic remedies that are all intended for cats but I'm thinking about trying to get him some acupuncture. It's just so hard to afford all this when you're 26, going back to college to finish your degree, and in between jobs. I won't give up on him but I feel kind of pessimistic for some reason. I'll give an update after his vet appointment.
