Hello all,
My cat Ichabod has had a rough life so far. He just turned 2 last March, and has been struggling with nausea/vomiting a lot lately. He goes through phases where he will vomit, refuse to eat, hover over the water bowl, howl... and then the next day he is fine. These "phases" have happened about three times in the last year.
In April, I took him to the vet again, and did a blood panel for Ichabod. Everything came back clear- no kidney or liver issues, nothing. Since, he's been on as-needed doses of Cerenia and Mirtazipine. I don't give him the Mirtazipine at all anymore, but the Cerenia is necessary. As soon as the Cerenia is out of his system, he vomits. He also has some inflamed back teeth, but I'm not sure it would be enough to cause such severe nausea.
The vet thinks it might be IBD or stomach/intestinal cancer. I'm taking him in next week for an ultrasound to rule some things out. Anyone who has experienced a similar situation, or have advice? I am at my wit's end with trying to figure this out. Thank you in advance!
