I'm so depressed... feel like I'm running out of time trying to save my baby!!
Does any of this sound familiar? Would appreciate any suggestions.
⦁ Jengo is a 15 1/2 yr old silver Bengal... very intelligent.
⦁ Is trim and fit.. younger weight was 11#... current weight 9#.
⦁ Has always been active and walks/runs on a cat wheel and hour or two a day.
⦁ Has a nervous cat with super sensitive hearing... always alert to noises.
⦁ Has always been a fussy eater and only eats wet food.
⦁ Likes a variety of food... rarely eat more than 2 meals of the same flavor.
⦁ Has vomited clear foam for years but vet could never pin point the cause.
⦁ Can count the number of times he's vomited up food on on hand.
⦁ His symptoms don't fit most diagnosis since he doesn't vomit food and doesn't have diarrhea.
⦁ Last six months has been vomiting about twice a week.
* Seems like he vomits less if I feed him several small meals a day... about 7 or 8.
⦁ All the regular tests the vet ran were within normal range.
⦁ Vet order B12 injections after GI Cobal/Folate test showed low B12.
⦁ Vet put him on 2.5mg of Prednisolone twice a day and tapered it off to 2.5mg twice a week of IBD.
⦁ Don't want to put him thru a biopsy because of his age.
⦁ Seems agitated after taking Prednisolone.
⦁ Worried about the side effects of long term use of Prednisolone.
⦁ Some days he acts pretty normal... other days he sleeps most of the day.
⦁ Tried switching him to raw diet... no luck.
⦁ Also tried novel proteins... won't eat them.
I'm so stressed and worried... this is breaking my heart.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
