Madeline our ~15 year old cat has been vomiting for several years. It's rarely a hairball. She vomits food, liquid and clear liquid. It just depends on the day. We've seen at least six different doctors at three different vet clinics and the only thing they came up with was inflammatory bowel disease or cancer. It's been over a year and she's still alive, so I sort of doubt the cancer idea.
They've done blood work, unrinalysis tests, many exams and probably other stuff I can't even recall. We had her on all sorts of different foods and none helped. She even tried Royal Canin PR wet and dry food for about 5 months. She is currently taking Budesonide for her thyroid which is at a good level now, and she's also taking methimazole (steroid) in case she has IBD. I do not want to do a biopsy - they said doing one may or may not show us that she has cancer.
She gets sick once a week and vomits about five times in a row, sometimes crying out. I give her a Cerenia anti-nasueau pill and then she's fine for another week. It's like clock work - sick every week. Any ideas? I'm desperate!
