A week ago my 10 year old long haired cat, molly started to puke and was unable to keep food or water down. She lost 2.2 pounds in a couple of days and now weighs 4.8 pounds. After a week of visits to the vet, she’s gotten the anti nausea medicine multiple times and IV fluids, they did bloodwork- all appeared normal. An X-ray showed something but they couldn’t tell what so next Step was an ultrasound. The ultrasound found a variety of things. She has one kidney functioning better than the other, pancreatitis, and a cyst on her liver. They didn’t see anything cancerous or that needs surgery at this time. She’s been home since last night and was acting better. They suggested the Hills digestive food to help with pancreatitis flare ups. They also noticed some fur in a stool sample so she’s trying to pass a hairball and they gave me a lubricant to give her orally to help with that.
Things seemed better until this morning when 2 hours after her breakfast, she puked half of it up. Then she used the litter box and pooped (not solid) and immediately puked outside the litter box stomach bile (bright yellow/green). No white foam which she was puking up last week. I ran an errand and came back and she was meowing at her food cabinet so i gave her a small amount. She’s also drank water and kept it down fine. Then, just now, she pooped again in the litter box (still not solid) and immediately puked the stomach bile again outside the litter box. I called her vet and explained what’s going on today, the vet wasn’t super concerned and said to just keep an eye on her and make sure she’s keeping the food down and to decrease the amount of food I’m giving her so she just eats a little at a time. He also recommended a new litter box and the half a Pepcid.
Does anyone on here have any advice or experienced something like this?? This past week has been awful (not to mention expensive) She’s such a sweet girl and her personality is still there, she’s acting normal not like she’s in pain, minus the puking bit going on. Any help is seriously appreciated!! Thank you!!
