As a last stitch effort I am reaching out to this community to see if I can find some answers or other people who might have had cats going through similar things. My 3 year old cat, Mika, is a tortie domestic shorthair. I’ve had her for just a little over a month and 2 weeks back she stopped eating. I took her to the vet who told me her liver values were very high. Her skin was yellowing (I hadn’t noticed at that point) and he told me that was because her bilirubin levels were at a 9 (Supposed to be at a .5). At this point he sent me home with antibiotics and something to help make her bile system flow. She continued to worse so 3 days later I admitted her to an animal hospital. They aspirated her liver and gallbladder which the testing of found nothing. They noted that what came out of her gallbladder was incredibly sludgy. They tried to culture it but nothing grew. While she was in the hospital her values all went down and she started eating again. They allowed me to take her home and continued antibiotics and the gallbladder medication at higher levels and put her on pain medication. Yesterday (4 days after taking her home) we had a check up that revealed her liver values were back up and some were worse than before. They suspected an obstruction but an ultrasound found nothing. The vet concluded that her biliary system is so sludgy that it is acting like an obstruction and put her on the highest dose of the gallbladder medication she can. The vet told me she had absolutely no idea why things weren’t getting better or what was really going on to cause all this. They mentioned removal of the gallbladder but I don’t have the money to afford that (and my vet told me the surgery comes with lots of post complications). My cat is back to barely eating and only licking her food. She is horrible about her oral medication as she thrashes about, slobbers and actively spits out anything put in her mouth. I suspect because the medications were originally given through an IV is why her values got better in the hospital. I was hoping to get advice on 1) how to give her medication with her being as fussy and stressed about the medication she is (I have 5 medications to give so I NEED to figure something out) and 2) If anyone has gone through something like this that has any sort of suggestion or advice on what it might be.
