Hello can anyone please help? I have a domestic short hair named Lily. My wife lost her mother and sister so we adopted this barn cat when she was around a month old. One year later I couldn't imagine how much joy and happiness she would bring to our family. She has always been small around 6.5 pounds. She is strictly indoors and had all shots and is spayed. The only problem she ever had was flea's from when we got her which we eradicated with advantage. She has also vomited infrequently off and on. Last Thursday she vomited twice. We then noticed she wasn't eating. We kept making her food and she would roll around rub up on us as usual but would not eat. She started getting listless and felt very thin. We took her to the ER Sunday. They took xrays gave her fluid and nausea medicine. They told us they saw inflamed stomach lining and small intestine consistent with her swallowing a linear foreign object, but it was unusual considering she only vomited on Thursday and wasn't in pain on palpation. We brought her home hoping she would get better. Tuesday she still hasn't had more than a bite was even more listless and looking very thin. We took her to our vet and had abdominal exploratory surgery. Also had full blood work, all came back normal. He didn't find anything but hair. Here I am Sat she still has barely ate and now is having tremors. She looks bone thin and refuses food. I've tried tuna all kinds of brands names, force feeding baby food,treats, nothing works. We have her a prescribed appetite stimulate and pain medication buprenex. Still nothing she basically just stays on her blanket and sleeps. The vet said Monday we can give her a feeding tube. I don't think she has that long and even if she does is she could survive that stress. We are so heart broken our family is breaking apart. I've spent over 3000 and still have no idea what is wrong with her. Can she be saved? Please help I'll try anything. I don't want her to suffer but can't stand the thought of losing her! She had her whole life ahead of her.
