Hello everyone I really need some advice or help any words of wisdom I’ve never gone through anything like this before.
I have a beautiful kitty named MIssy she’s 16 years old. Last year she started been sick about once a week off and on. I took her to the vet he suggested she may be sensitive to food so try grain free. I tried Wellness fire wet and little dry as she’s always been little fussy and it just helped keep weight on her. She is well for long time and the sickness got a lot rarer.
However December last year she was being sick everyday I took her to the vet he wasn’t sure at first and took blood samples. Her organs came back fine. We then went with a ultrasound scan. And it picked up lumps in her Intenstine. At this point she had dropped in weight a fair bit. I got quite upset because the lady who called me with results was really insensitive she just suggested putting her to sleep. I got so mad....
I had to speak to a different vet to get different advice. They said to me it could by ibs or small cell lymphoma. But without doing a biopsy they can’t be sure. Missy has never done well under anestheic so we were really aprihensive on what to do at this point.
The vet gave us some steroids and told me to prepare for the worst.
However missy being a fighter picked up. She stopped vomiting and kept food down. Within a week this changed again she had blood in her stool and vomiting more.
We went back and the vet increased the steroid dose to one and a half tablets a day.
Within 4 days missy got a really bad cold.
We went back to the vet she had antibiotics eye drops. And nasal clearing powder
As soon as this sickness passed she started eating really well again. She gained weight and I was so happy that we scheduled her checkup for 2 weeks time instead of 1. Then all of a sudden she started refusing food. Last Sunday it started. Anything I put down. Even tuna. So we got her back in and he ran some blood work. Gave her antibiotic. B12 jab and some pain relief.
Missy has had a lot of teeth out however Theres a few in her month which are sore. I believe there in the back. Again the vet agreed could be dangerous to put her under anthestic.
I’ve bought every food she’s ever loved and this morning she just refused everything. When she does eat. She pulls at her mouth and gums. So I don’t know if it’s her stomach hurting from the blockage. Or her mouth or what to do. I wanted to take her back today but it’s emergency only. I’m going to try get her in Monday. But all the vet recommend to me was more blood work...
Her bloods came back with liver and kidney function fine. But her red blood count was low and they aren’t reproductive. He gave me the number 24
Her protein was low aswell
Please help has anyone got any experience. What can I do
Is it my fault I didn’t opt for her teeth put the year before. I’m so scared.
