I rescue cats and have 6 that I try to keep indoors. One kitty stays outside, except in bad weather and I have to fight to get him inside. All of my kitties seem fine, except one. My baby, Bat, has gone thru 3 major surgeries in the past 3 years.... the most recent about 1 month ago. He had to have string(dental floss) removed from his tongue, throat, stomach, intestines and colon!!!
He was fine after that, but now he is throwing up, stopped eating, he hisses and growls at something that only he can see, he shakes his head and drools. He also started compulsively cleaning himself, which is something that he has never done before.
He was at a vet from Fri. to Sat.( which WAS a horror story that I will tell later!!!), But they found nothing wrong- no blockages. They didn`t bother to take blood or tell me that Bat had ear mites reaaly bad. Another vet took blood and gave me meds. for his ears.
My problem is this: the new vet charged a great deal of money just for the blood screen. I am officially broke!!! I can`t afford more tests, so I was hoping that someone might be able to narrow the causes down.
