Hi. I have two grey male, neutered cats that we adopted from our veterinarian almost 2 years ago. They have always been healthy and playful kitties. I guess it all started slowly about a year ago I noticed that one of them, Wendell is his name, started acting like he didn't feel well, sleeping more often and just not acting like himself. Then I noticed the next day that the white eyelids on both eyes had come up over the eyes. Anyway, I took him to the vet that we have always used and he said he just thinks that he has problems with hairballs. (He's not a long-hair cat but more medium-length) so he gave me some hairball treatment stuff and I started giving it to both to them. He seemed better but it was then that he started this cycle where he was seemingly normal most of the time and I would say maybe one day out of a month, he would act like he felt terrible and would hide and not eat or drink and then the next day he was back perky and normal. I do not have tons of money and since I had just spent over $200 already I said well I since he's better the next day I will just feel it out and see...well that went on for months where just every now and then he'd have a bad day like that. So then I noticed a few months ago that the timespan between the bad days was getting shorter and he started to have weak, sick days once a week so I took him back to our vet, who once again stated he thought it was due to "hairball" symptoms and preceded to tell me how many cats he has seen have serious complications from a trapped hairball. It was around this time I also noticed he had lost weight and brought that up but the doc said he hadn't lost too much. All in all the vet seemed to act like nothing was really that wrong with him. But just to be sure, he gave him a few vitamin shots and sent me home with an antibiotic and parasite medicine to give him for a week. So I did this and he seemed SOME better but definitely not back to normal. So about 3 weeks ago he got to where he wouldn't eat or drink and was very weak so once again, I took him back to the vet and told him something is DEFINITELY wrong with him and demanded he do tests. He did bloodwork, tested him for feline leukemia / aids, and did a fecal test and all were normal. According the the vet, he doesn't have diabetes, his liver / kidneys and all were normal, and he doesn't have an infection. Which I was blown away because I expected him to find SOMETHING. So, once AGAIN he gave me some laxatives and said to give him some wet food that he likes to plump him up for a while and change his dry food to some prescription food and he should start to feel better. So I've done this and if anything he's worse. I'm now out over $600 and still my cat is sick. So to update this past week, he sleeps ALOT, doesn't play at all and has gotten very skinny. He still drinks water and when I try to feed him, he will eat but small amounts. I'm researching taking him to a different vet but in the meantime, I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas???
