hi everybody. i'm totally new here but i don't know where else to turn. i have a cat (obviously) and he's been quite ill for the last week. He is about 11 years old (hard to say exactly as he is a rescue kitty). last week friday he started throwing up. it was mostly white foam (from an empty stomach, i assume). he wouldn't sleep with me at night and for the next day or so he wouldn't even come out from under the bed. now he's coming out more, but he isn't acting his normal self. he's been throwing up a couple of times a day ever sense. there up until the last 2 days it's been clear (i assume just water) or foamy. now it's yellow again. he's eaten some but sunday i put his daily meal in his bowl and it's still not gone yet.
i took him to the vet and they gave him fluids and run a blood pannel. the liver enzymes were a little higher than the normal range and the glucose was at the high end of the normal range but the vet didn't really do anything. he did give an antibiotic shot, even though his blood pannel didn't show any signs of infection.
to be quite honest. i don't know what it could be. is he just old and preparing to die? or is there something wrong with him that i can fix and he'll live happy for a while longer? i'm preparing myself for the worst but i don't want to give up hope on him.
any ideas? thoughts? experiences?
