Got a 15 year old indoor siamest cat that started throwing up allot a couple months ago. It got bad enough that every few days he would heave allot multiple times a day with lots of food and whatever liquid was in his stomach. He would get very weak and go sleep alone at his worst. Before this he was on dry food and once in a while might barf one in a while.
Read some forums and started feeding him only fancy feast classic and was using some recommended hairball digestive type stuff as well as combing him multiple times/day to help with hairballs which would come up on the barfs once in a while.
This didn't change anything thus taking him to the vet. I scanned 3 pages and put pictures in this thread of the results. He got some prescription food since they said he may be anemic, antibiotics for 10 days and he takes 1 denamarin pill/day.
I think they said they would try this and have him come back after 30 days which would be next week to see if bloodwork is better. If we were lucky this would improve things or they would have to take it further to see if there is a tumour on his liver, etc. with ultrasound?
Anyway its been 3 weeks and for whatever reason it has been different. He barfed up a little spot with hair after coming home and another a couple weeks later so no big deal. But sometime last night after the pill fast he barfed all of his last food serving I assume because I found the pill casing in it. Then it looks like he did it again after an early am feeding. So dramatically different than the 3 weeks prior to seeing the vet but he also was acting a little goofy today with the pacing and meowing, down a bit on energy. Not a terrible crash like I had seen before but obviously something is going on.
Also he has had diahrea since the day he came home from vet and started taking meds. I have to assume its the denamarin.
Anyways I'm searching for cat forums and am going to try and read up a bit, any info would be great, I have no clue what I am looking at with this test. Funny how we were just talking about what an amazing difference its been. The diahrea is proving to be hard to deal with and I'm concerned that if there routine isn't working now, it can't get better and I don't like seeing the poor cat run down like that. Definately don't want to have him in pain.
