So one of my cats has a medical issue. She started vomiting way too regularly (like daily) and her fur also started falling out (like there are no bald patches on her at all, but her fur is everywhere all the time). She has days when she's really tired and days when she's completely fine. She ates, drinks and uses the litter completely normally, but we took her to the vet because we didn't want the problem to get worse.
We did an ultrasound and a bunch of blood tests. There are some enzim issues with her liver, but otherwise most of her organs appeared completely normal. But she has inflammation in multiple places (in her mouth it's really bad, and in her stomach, but there's no fluid also some of her glands are way bigger than they should be). Sorry for the poor explanation, this is the best I was able to do, I don't even fully comprehend the problems in my first language. Basically the vet said that it can either be some problem that she will be able to overcome if we boost her immune system with some help/medicine, or it can be some auto-immune disease, or in worst chase scenario, it's the dry version of fip. So I'm scared for her life (and this is especially hard for me because we lost her son around last Christmas).
Our biggest problem in this situation is that she would need a bunch of medicine to get better (obviously not all at once but we need to figure out what we are dealing with) but this is the most stubborn cat ever. She doesn't eat anything if I just mix some medicine in it (be it fluid or pills), syringe- she drools it out, so only a little bit of medicine goes down her throat. We are also unable to just shove a pill down her throat. And I need some advice, how do you give pills to your cat, that works?
