Followup. We kind of struggled for a bit - giving her the anti-nausea meds, but she didn't like it and became more reclusive, and there was still the occasional vomit, and she still wasn't gaining weight back. I don't even recall some of the things we tried last fall. Back then, we could kind...

Heh - in a previous vet visit, the gave us packets of a probiotic powder, and the intent was that we give it to all of our cats. That lasted exactly one meal. Nobody would eat anything that night - not even our glutton cat. We had to put down fresh food with no probiotic. Now that we know...

Another update. We had a few vomiting issues, even with the meds. It gets real old cleaning that stuff up at 4AM, so we scheduled another vet appointment. Now you have to understand that my wife was already totally convinced that the cat had cancer, and I had to keep telling her not to assume...

The "steroid" really wasn't that - we just touched base with the vet by phone , and it was really an anti-nausea medication that also has some sort of anti-inflamatory. We are about out of that, so what the plan going forward is just to keep an eye on her and see how she does without it.

I thought I would post an update. Lots of news - all good. Last Friday (a week ago), we took her to a different vet. Gave them the lowdown on the other prescription that she wouldn't take. They did an exam and an X-ray. Saw signs of inflamation in stomach and upper intestine. Lower...

Yeah, that's the one. Why do they even bother prescribing it then? Is there something better we should be asking for? Or do some cats tolerate it? I hadn't heard of FortiFlora before - a probiotic for cats, I guess.

Thanks for the reply. I would have to ask my wife - I believe we did do an ultrasound, but I can't be sure. At the time, they were doing a quick exam to look for a blockage of some sort. We did some reading - the medication in question is something that cats are known to hate the taste of...

We have a female cat - about 13 years old. Recently she started vomiting every couple of days - not a hairball. And it stinks. Most recently it was this morning at 4AM, so we are a little short on sleep right now. We took her to the vet - the main thing they noted was that the white blood...

We have 3 cats, and up until now the only time they go in the carrier is to go to the vet. They aren't wild about it, and usually when we grab one, the others go and hide until the "danger" is over. But we are looking at vacation homes, and I am thinking that perhaps next summer we bring all 3...
