Hello Everyone,
I need your help and experience! I recently adopted two kittens from a barn (they are four and a half months old now). One was very sick (respiratory issues) when I got her (it turns out she had two rare forms of bacteria in her system- the high doseage antibiotics took care of it). The other female was fine.
About a month or so ago, the one that was fine started grinding her teeth, licking, and almost looking like she was going to throw up. She does this routine on and off all day- but more at night (although I am not home during the day to watch them). I have taken her to the vet several times- it seems as though she is not teething, there is nothing stuck in her mouth, she has been dewormed 3-4 times already, and we took her off all antibiotics (she was on them just in case) because she did throw up 4 -5 times when on them. The actual throwing up stopped until last night when she threw up her nausea medicine.
She is still eating (although I am not sure if she is eating enough- last time I took her to the vet, she was underweight, so they gave me Cal-Max), she plays with her sister, she drinks, and she sleeps. She seems to be normal in every way except for this nausea thing. And since it started before the Cal-Max, and has continued after being off of the antibiotics for two weeks, I am asumming that is not it either.
My vet seems to be out of answers. I don't have a lot of money to keep taking her to the vet- they have cost me over $1,500.0 in two and a half months. I love them dearly, but since the vet doesn't know what to do, I am lost. Does anyone have any ideas???? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!!
