Eden is an approximately 3-4 y/o Siamese who was abused until I got her a year ago. She was pregnant, dehydrated, starved, & had a neurological issue. She was tested then for FeLV/FIV & was negative.
She has regained her balance - however has an occasional seizure (not on any meds to control seizures).
Labor Day weekend, she was drooling often, vomiting foamy white liquid, not real active, but did eat & keep all food she ate down (she only vomited foamy white liquid
).
Fri Sept 11th she was in to the vet for an exam & her yearly booster shots. She was fine, temp normal, heart good, the whole 9 yards. She got her vaccinations without issue.
Fast forward to Wed Sept 23rd. She seemed a little less mellow, but I attributed it to playing too rough with Dory (she was being rowdy Tues PM). Thursday she's definitely off - drooling (just sitting there drooling), vomiting foamy white liquid, not eating (she would sit & stare at food - but not eat much). I gave her some canned, as normal, and she ate it. We booked a Fri AM vet appt. Thurs later in the day she threw up the canned I gave her.
Fri AM (today) - vet appt. She won't eat Fri AM. Vet takes temp, normal. Heart, lungs - normal. Palpates abdomen - no masses felt, nothing abnormal, bladder not full. Examined her mouth & under/around tongue, as well as as much of her throat as he could - find nothing there to be causing this. Has lost HALF A POUND in 2 weeks!!
We ran a complete CBC/GHP - nothing is out of normal ranges.
I'm baffled. Obviously the weight loss could be caused by not eating - but what is causing her to not want to eat???? The thing is, until Wed - she's been eating all her normal portion of wet food & is the first pig in the dry food when I refill it (free fed dry food).
I have gotten her to eat canned food today, and she is getting small portions multiple times a day....she'll only eat a spoonful, tops, at one time. I made a slurry of canned A/D (high calorie Rx diet), which she licked some of. I'm adding a dabble of the A/D into her other wet food.
She's also getting laxatone in the unlikely event something isn't passing through. If she's not eating/much perkier by Monday, the vet wants to do x-rays & possibly surgery to determine what's up with her intestines. I'm trying to monitor her to see what her poop looks like (if I shut her in a room she'll hold her poop in until she gets let out).
Thoughts/ideas??
