well i think i knew deep down something was wrong.  after 5 days on the meds atleast he was using the litter box, drinking and eating although in waves.  he was loving baby food last night.  he would load up for a few hours and then sleep all the time. all he wanted to do is be with us and when...

it got worse and our vets office days later still hasn't let us speak to a doc.  wow what a joke, don't know if the receptionist or docs dropped the ball.  another vet did the surgery a year ago but had to leave and passed us on to this guy.  i couldn't wait so had to take them to a place near...

here is a picture of our punk who is 16!  he had a rough time lately about a year ago after mass barfing and diahrea and a month with a bad vet we found out he had mast cell tumor and they took out his spleen.  he felt better the day of surgery and has been doing great since.   he also was...

Just looking for some feedback after searching around for a bit.  it has been a year since he had surgery and they took his spleen out due to mast cell cancer.  they have kept him on steroid and benadryl daily since which is a low consistent dosage.  luckily he has only barfed a few times since...

my siamese cat is 16 years old as of september.  last year around the same time, after never having had sickness visits to the vet we had to take him in.  it started with some barfing a couple times a day and him being lethargic, not wanting to eat and wanting to spend the day in the hamper.  we...

no clue what it could be but this extreme throwing up every few days and becoming lethargic is what led us to take our 15 year old siamese into the vet a few months ago. they basically found mast cell tumor and took out spleen and something near liver, saw slight hardning in digestive track but...

I got a notification since I replied before. It's not my thread but figured I would share that my cat is doing well. He just weighed 9.5 pounds up from 6.5 before surgery. He has been on half a pred pill daily since a week post op almost 3 months ago. He has had diahrea only a couple...

this started happening with our 15 year old siamese months ago.  it was every 2-3 days and the cat would have multiple barfing fits those days.  projectile.  he maintained his appetite and even his weight for about the first month while i was seeing a vet that i think did a terrible job delaying...

scary stuff to read.  our 15 year old siamese is on 2.5mg/day after having spleen and tumor taken out due to mast cell, and then after exploratory they treat him like ibd.  thank goodness our cat has reacted well.  he was barfing with diahrea and losing weight and crashing in the month+ leading...

thanks for the info, people were nice enough to post about finding the right vet in my last thread and we did that.  i think the current team is good and they did the surgery and have all previous records.  to be clear he has done amazing for the 2 months post op and never crashed.  they did say...

Long story short my 15 year old siamese started doing this out of nowhere like 4 months ago so we took them to a vet that turned out to be crappy.  During the month with them a few times the cat would get a bit lethargic and not eat as much and walk around on his hocks, missing jumps, etc. Took...

my old siamese had his spleen taken out just over a month ago and i was surprised they called within hours of the surgery that we could pick him up! they said i didn't need one of those collars and it freaked me out because this cat was bit many years ago and had surgery and a cone and he...

Am I crazy or do the same kinds of symtpoms cross over to so many different problems?  That is what I take away from reading all the pamphlets at the vet and going through something similar with my 15 year old siamese right now. For us it was barfing and becoming lethargic every 3-4 days that...

I don't know what else to use but yelp.  As far as our cat we had a bad experience a couple months ago though with a highly rated place, like top 3 within 20 miles.  I guess you might have to dig deeper in those reviews like perhaps individual vets at one facility.  We ended up going to another...

I'm dealing with this now after my 15 year old siamese had some barfing/lethargic fits that didn't seem right.  He had his spleen taken out due to mast cell and ibd was suspected due to some areas being hard. our vet is trying 2.5mg/day of pred which they talked about being low but maybe a...

my 15 year old cat had his spleen taken out 2 weeks ago tomorrow.  the whole process is freaking me out, i assumed he would have stitches on the outside and they gave him no cone.  maybe we are lucky, i have seen him groom himself but avoid the scab line, looks like your cat just agitated an...

Check it out but maybe no big deal? My siamese is 15 with a minor heart murmur and he had surgery to take out his spleen and explore almost 2 weeks ago.  He did so well he came home the same day and was eating and drinking.  Went to the bathroom the next day.  He has been walking around and...

We are going through something kind of similar, my cat had mast cells in the spleen so we took it out almost 2 weeks ago.  He had some elevated liver levels for 2 months, a slight heart murmur.  He is a 15 year old siamese.  One of the reasons I went through with the surgery is because he didn't...
