Hi, my family rescued two cats when they were about three months old. They have had all there shots and have yearly visits to the vet. They are both just over two years old. Last year, the male cat experienced vomiting for a couple of days. We took him to the vet, which is really not easy to do as he is very temperamental. He stayed at the cat hospital for two nights, where they gave him antibiotics, Pepcid ac and checked him out. When he came home he was fine. On Wednesday, he experienced these same issues where he was vomiting throughout the night. Thursday he was fine and able to eat and drink regularly. Friday, we spoke to the vet and she told us that if it reoccurs to bring him in. All day Saturday he was fine until Sunday morning when he began throwing up again. He has been throwing up once every hour and a half. We have stopped giving him food, but he can not even hold down the water. I want to take him to an emergency clinic but he refuses to even go near his cage. I have even gotten a trap from the local humane society. This has not worked.
Besides him vomiting he is pretty energetic, his appetite is still strong and he runs and jumps around. I know people might say to pick him up and put him in the cage but that is just not possible. We have never been able to pick him up, and he only lets us pet him when he wants to be petted. He is a very anxious cat. I'm at a loss of what to do. I have some crushed up Pepcid ac that I put in water, but he does not like it, so I put out a bowl of fresh water so he wouldn't get dehydrated. Please help. Thanks.
