My cat has two issues and I wondered if anyone had experienced either of them or if they could be connected.
Around once a day, my cat starts heaving, her stomach contracts, like she's going to vomit but she doesn't.
She also has an insatiable appetite. Sometimes she cries for food every half hour and if I don't feed her she doesn't stop nagging. It's quite exhausting as she wakes me in the night and also wakes my toddler. She's not overweight, even though she's not that active (her back legs are severely twisted since birth, she can still run around by dragging them behind her but not that fast). I gave her worm tablets, no change. I took her to the vet, he gave her an injection for worms and said she probably had furballs and would eventually cough them up. Still no change! So we went back to the vet and he tried a prescription-strength spot treatment for worms. It's been a month and still no change! And I've never seen her cough up a fur ball, or anything at all.
I'll take her back to the vet, but I wondered if there is anything I can ask him to do or test for? Has anyone had either of these problems? Thanks in advance!
