Hi guys,
My cat Mozart has been throwing up once a day for about 2ish weeks now. I took him to the vet on Friday, and had a physical, urine analysis, and blood test done.
Physical came out fine, urine analysis was clean. Problem was that his creatine levels were a lil high. So the vet in Austin told me that it may be early signs of kidney failure, or he has a under grown one.
I sent a copy of the blood test to my normal vet in Cali, (she saw the cat about 2 weeks ago before the flight.) to get a second opinion. She said that based on how I described Mozart acting and his habit of chewing/eating random things, the blood test, and the physical, she thinks that he probably just ate something that isn't passing through his system.
So here is my question. Based on both scenarios, which procedure would be the best. Ultrasound, or Xray. I'm a college student so I can't really afford to spend money on both, so I want to pick one that can look for both possibilities.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry about the long description. Just wanted to give some background.
