Hello everyone!
5 days ago my 8 yr old male cat Sylvester came in at his usual lunch time but when I gave him food he smacked his lips, swallowed and backed away which seemed like he had nausea. I noticed he had passed loose motion and there was some vomit with what looked like white seeds in it. Next day I took him to the vet and he gave an antibiotic shot, normal saline drip and an anti-inflammatory (some steroid I guess) as he said there was some swelling in the mouth. He told me to give omeprazole once a day but Sylvester still did not eat anything. The next day he ate just a tbsp of raw mince chicken and some Whiskas. I took him to another vet today and she said he is a bit constipated so an enema has to be given. After an enema as well as an anti-nausea medication and an IV drip Sylvester is still not eating although he does come to check his food tray and looks interested. I have tried all sorts of different foods. He seems active, is grooming himself and really just wants to go outdoors. It has been 5 days now and I am at a loss as to what to do in this situation. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks you!!
