NO HATE OR JUDGEMENT PLEASE
Fyi im trying to figure out how to get money so she can be seen by a vet (I'm on SSI),
5yr old spayed female came from a TNR program way before I got her,
My 5year old cat Cali has been having weird symptoms etc going on and I'm suspecting Lymphoma,
Symptom/signs etc history
Through all of this she didn't lose her appitite besides right before ER trip
May :she was healthy,
June :she started to puke once in awhile ,thought it was hair balls because she started to groom more,
July :she still kept having *hairballs* along with puking up her dry food once in awhile, guarding her food and water ,started acting slightly off she would run like something was attacking her and then hide for a bit and come out ,hair loss started also scratching more then normal I had to start trimming her back paws bc of it towards the end of July she puked up blood and after she puked it her breathing went weird and her eyes sank in and I also noticed a lump under her armpit I rushed her to the vet ER the vet refused to run blood work and X-rays bc I was relying on donations even a donator was willing to pay for the tests they did do the felvfiv test came back Negative ,all vet did was was give antinausea shot and antibiotic shot and a antihistamine shot thinking either bacterial or allergies vet dismissed me about the lump under armpit and they said "possible small tear from puking" she stayed there for 3 days, also right before she went to the vet for the bloody vomit her abdomine looked bigger and felt harder,
August :she seemed to do better but still had the lump her abdomen went to normal,
September: symptoms started back up again gradually (except the bloody vomit) but a new one set in she would pee and poo in random spots she even pooped on the deep freezer ,she has always been good on using the cat box ,became a bit more reclused from everyone,
October this month ,new symptoms bald belly ,hair loss skin itchyness got worse skin got a bit thick on belly and around neck , balance has been off ,now when she is in a freak out/spaz mode where she runs frantically from one spot to the next and then freeze and proceeds she does this for about 5 minutes and sometimes she poops while doing that, she even somehow escaped out the back window on Oct 9th and went missing for 3 days I got her back yesterday (thank goodness for fb lost post) ,and ever since she has been back I have noticed more lumps like what is under her armpit she has 5 around her lingual/groin area ,2 under left armpit 1 under right armpit and one on her belly , abdomen now feels like it did in July since she had been back yesterday, no vomiting since July as far as I can tell (multi cat house hold),
I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to get her seen I'm stressing about it bc the only vet that does payment plans is the one who ignored her in July the vet that actually listens don't do payment plans which makes it hard
I'm starting to suspect it's a form of lymphoma
Her appitite has increased she always acting starved lately ,her weight as went down since being home as of yesterday I think she lost weight because she didn't eat while being lost, she now started doing that weird hunched sitting position since being home if she is on anything hard like floor deep freezer etc, she doesn't do that on the bed soft chair couch,
No upper respiratory symptoms
No ear symptoms
No eye nose symptoms
Not saying who but someone I live with thinks it's fat pockets
Anyone have any ideas on how I can get her seen while being broke? I don't want to see her suffer she is technically my son's cat so the idea of surrender hurts me since she is his cat and the thought of her suffering with hardly no vet care because I'm broke hurts too no vet will see her with out money upfront ,I already feel shitty
Anyone else's cat had the same or similar symptoms if so what did your cat have? Asking so I have a better idea what to talk to a vet about once I can get her in
I'm not asking for donations on this post
Thank you
