Hi.. I am hoping that someone out there might have insight into some symptoms.
About a month and a half ago, Harry our youngest and roudiest kitty came home and I sensed that he had been in a fight. Not unusual but this time, I could tell. Shortly after that, I noticed that he was getting lethargic and was gravitating toward the warmer places. Also, trying to stay out of the mahem (busy house). I didn't worry too much as he was eating and voiding just fine. He just seemed like he wasn't feeling well and his eye contact wasn't there anymore. New Years Eve, he started throwing up and did so about once an hour for 4-5 hours. The last time, there was a hint of pink indicating blood to me. Shortly after the New Year rang in, I was off to the emergency room with him. The noted that he did not have fever, but that he was slightly dehydrated. I was concerned as his abdomen had been tender, that possibly the fight may have caused some internal injury like a broken rib etc. The x-ray showed everything was fine although there was a slight indication that there might be bunching in his intestines. The vet prescriped antibiotics for possible stomach infection, gave him a wormer, and sent me home with tablets to soothe his stomach. The regimen seemed to work and he perked up a bit. Now, over the past 2-3 days, his symptoms have returned to some degree. Some throwing up but not consistent and very minimal. However, now he is doing quite a bit of sneezing. He meows like he has a hollow pit in his stomach and wants something in it to soothe it. He is more interested in his soft food that he ever has been. He seems to meow at us before he heads to the litter box.
I know that this is a lot of information, but if anyone has experienced anything similar, it would be great to get a sense of what might be going on. He is current on all vaccinations.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
