Hello,
My cat is a cross between Siamese and European cat. One year ago, she had a bronchitis. I changed of veterinary 3 times because none of them were able to cure that illness, and got worse. As a result of the medication, her liver got inflamed and the veterinary said that she had a pancreatitis (inflamation of pancreas).
The third veterinary cured her bronchitis. But 2 months later the cat continued coughing. Her bronchial tubes were clean, so the veterinary said us that it was an allergy.
In the following months, every month and a half, she used to cough and sneeze. Then, we took them to the veterinary and he used an injection of cortisone to stop it. This repeated every month and a half.
We changed the litter box sand, and with the pass of time, coughs and sneezes have stopped or happen only sometimes.
But she started to lick her belly and in a line from the belly to the neck until she took her hair out. At the beginning the veterinary said that her throat was inflamed, but now it doesn't happen.
But this happens every month and a half: the cat stops eating her dry food, and sometimes regurgitates it (without having digested it) and makes gestures as if she can't swallow the food. When this happens, we take her to the veterinary, who injects her cortisone. Then we feed her with wet food, that is the only thing that she can eat. Some times she has difficulty for eating that too, but 5 days later she eats more, and we get her back to eat dry food 7-11 days later, that is when she can eat it again. Usually, 1 month and a half later the problem starts again.
When she eats wet food she asks for it every 1 hour, and if we don't give it, she sometimes vomits, so when she is ill we can't sleep at all. If the can has been opened more than 4 hours ago, she doesn't like it.
Please don't recommend me to change of veterinary 'cos I've talked with them all, and none of them is interested in a solution of the problem, just in solving the temporary problem (just the symptoms).
Also, I will value specially the opinions of people that suffered something similar or have a deep knowledge to solve this.
Can someone help me? Does someone of you had the same problem? How did you solve it?
Thanks in advance!
