hi yall
so my cat was throwing up for quite some time last week, and i ended up taking her to the vet this monday out of fear of a foreign body obstruction. the vet did xrays and all he saw was some constipation, so he prescribed laxatone, along with cerenia tablets and sucralfate for the gi irritation. since then, she hasn't really eaten as much as she normally does. she refused her regular food that she tends to snarf down, so i went and got canned chicken and tuna, and baby food. she's eaten some of that very sporadically. today all she had to eat was a little bit of chicken baby food in the morning, refusing everything else. i syringe fed her some baby food about an hour ago, which she promptly came into my room and threw up a few minutes later. i noticed this afternoon that she seemed to be salivating and swallowing a lot like she was about to throw up, but never actually did the gagging or throwing up. i feel so frustrated and i don't know what to do to help her feel better. does anyone have any ideas? im planning on calling the vet tomorrow and seeing if he'll prescribe more anti nausea medication and an appetite stimulant. i really want to avoid having to take her in again if possible since i don't have a car, so we have to take ubers and its a very stressful experience for myself and her, but i will if i have to.
thanks yall
