I've posted about my cat Sammy vomiting weekly multiple times, I'm just so worried with no money. Let me get to the basics, Sammy just turned 7 July 30th, he is 15 1/2-16 pounds, from what I see he is not losing weight, he is eating his wet and dry food normally, he is drinking normally, he is pooping and urinating normally, no diarrhea, no blood in his urine, and he acts like a total kitten (He runs around the house, he plays with his toys and gets into everything)
None of this started until he was put on 20 mg of predisone...for 7 months last year. Before all of this he vomited once or twice a year. Anyways, when he was on predisone he vomited weekly, then he went on doxycycline for a month and 1/2 and that really triggered vomiting. He was on all of this medicine because he has plasma cell pododermatitis, the vomiting got so bad while he was on his medicine, so I had to take him off of it. He stopped all oral medicine December of 2017. He slowly reduced his vomiting, it went from 1 week, to 2 weeks, to 3 weeks and then finally once a month. A lot of that vomiting then was him chowing down his food as fast as he could. He balanced the once a month vomiting until June of this year, he started doing it weekly again...well one week and two days. 45% of the time it is after/as he eats, 40% of the time it has hair in it and that 15% is random/him eating something he isn't supposed to. Most of the time after he vomits he goes to eat again. I am stumped, I know cats are good at hiding their illnesses, but wouldn't he have some sort of other symptom?
Forgot to say this, when Sammy vomited on his medicine he would do a loud meow before he did it, now he doesn't. Don't know if that helps with anything, but..
I'm as worried as you can get, my family is struggling to put food on the table, we even might not have a Christmas this year. If I had the money, he'd be at the vet getting a full blood test done right now.
