Hi everyone - I just wanted to let you all know Henry passed last Friday 9/29 at 10:30pm. We were settling in for the night when he let me know it was time to go. Being the best boy he was, he laid in my lap the whole way to the emergency animal hospital and I held his little head as they let...

Hi Laura - I didn't realize you had replied to my post since an e-mail notification never came through. I actually came on here to let everyone know that Henry has progressed (for the worse). When I took him to see the cardiologist 3 weeks ago and they found tons of fluid in his chest. At first...

Wow, you're right. Henry and Hank are very similar. It's such a heartbreaking situation. I'm sorry to hear you're sharing in this pain. I stopped giving Henry the Zyrtec since it didn't seem to be helping. He saw his cardiologist this past Monday and I had attempted to bring up the gabapentin...

I started him on 5mg of generic Zyrtec this past Thursday but it doesn't seem to be helping. I'll have to look into the other med you suggested. I really appreciate the advice. Thank you so much!

That's the thing, he's miserable from this unexplained itchiness but his heart and cancer are currently well controlled. He still has a good appetite too. I don't think it's his time. He's only 10, btw. This all started when he was 9. Can't be too sure of his age. Took him in as a stray... I'm...

Hi everyone - I've only posted 1 thread here so sorry for being a stranger. I had posted asking about cobalamin deficiency last year after finding out Henry had very low B12 levels. We had him tested after months of vomiting, diarrhea, and weight loss. A lot has happened since then but I'll try...

My guy refuses any sort of medication which is why I can never do pills. I love how the vets make it seem so easy. "Oh, here use this nifty plunger to pop it in their mouth. Works like a charm!" Yeah, if you can even mange to pry your cats mouth open let alone get him to swallow it. How did...

The cerenia might help with appetite but there's obviously something else going on. I'm assuming that they didn't run any extra tests? Henry had his second b12 injection yesterday and has thrown up 3 times since. He really wants to eat though and looks for food minutes after vomiting. I'm...

Please let us know how the second opinion goes. I'd be really interested to see what they say.  Good luck to you and your little old man. So handsome. :)

I actually just posted something very similar to this last week. My 9yo cat has been having issues with appetite, vomiting, and lethargy since June 2015. I've had him seen by two different vets and no one knows what's wrong. They suspect IBD but can't say for sure. The current vet ran a...

Yesterday evening I brought Henry in for his second cobalamin shot. He seemed fine and I went to bed later on in the night. At 12:30am I woke up to him vomiting and again at 4:30am. When I was at the vet yesterday he said "It's not the shots, it's your cats GI disease" -- GI disease? You never...

Katladee - It's so great to hear I'm not alone in this. I really want to do the ultrasound but the vet said it's better to not spend the money if I don't have to. I'm single, live in a small one bedroom apartment, and work as a receptionist. I am in no way close to being wealthy but when it...

The vet just responded. Here's what he said: "Thanks for updating us as to Henry's condition. You are correct in that Cobalamine is not going to be causing these issues, only his current maldigestion/GI issues. If he is otherwise doing well between these episodes then I would just note them and...

Ruth -  The previous vet ran a CBC around October. All his levels were normal. Sugar was fine. The new vet ran a "E Feline Maldigestion Panel" earlier in the month. It showed that his cobalamin was low. His Folate was within range but his TLI was high. This is what the results said: TLI...

Hey guys! I've been a lurker for some years and I always appreciate the information I find on this site. I'm really hoping someone can offer me advice on the following: Back in June of last year my cat, Henry, began losing weight, vomiting, and being very lethargic. He would want to eat but...
