I've been a little worried about Mufasa over the last few days and am hoping for some advice.
He has been known to throw up occasionally (maybe once a month) so I usually think nothing of it. For the last month though, he has been throwing up 2-3 times a week, and has even pooed on the floor three times (which he has NEVER done before).
I took him to the vet last Saturday because something just seemed off with him. The vet thought it might be related to his ECG (that his intestines were inflammed) so gave him a steroid injection (which usually helps). Yesterday though he threw up three times in just 12 hrs. I called the vet back, and he gave me some antibiotics to try, saying that his gallbladder might be inflammed??
The vet also said Mufasa should lose 2 lbs. I started portion feeding him a few days ago. He should be getting about 1 1/2 cups a day, but has only been eating between 1/2 and 3/4 of a cup (usually closer to 1/2). I'm not sure if this has only been going on for a few days, or if he has always only ate that much. And if he has always only been eating that much, why is he overweight??
I am so confused and worried. He is still active, but seems sookier that usual, meows a little more, has been pulling out the hair along his back, has a rash on his stomach and back towards the tail, soars on his mouth (which are most likely from the ECG), has been pooing on the floor, and throwing up alot (most of the time the throw-up is undigested food with bile, sometimes it is completely bile).
Could this all be from the ECG?? or could something else be wrong?
