Hi there, trying to make a long story short here. We recently adopted 2 Tonkinese girls ages 2 and 3. They came from a breeder with bad practices and were abandoned by their new owner before finding their way to us. They are lovely, sweet cats.
Freya, the 2 year old, has awful digestion and terrible gas pains. She used to vomit daily. After many vet visits, she was put on a prescription diet and given metoclopramide. The meds helped a bit and she was feeling better. She was playing more but getting easily winded. She has wheezed since we adopted her. Her old owners told us “that’s just her”. At her first vet visits they suspected bronchitis and put her on an antibiotic and we thought she’d gotten better. Anyhow, she started vomiting again, so I took her back and here she had pneumonia! (the vet also mentioned that her intestines were just full of gas) - this is after her new diet and her new meds.
Anyhow, I think her pneumonia is getting better, but now her gas is getting worse! This poor little cat. She is SO uncomfortable. She’s now reluctant to eat. I let her have wet treats called Tiki Stix just to get fluid in her. I will definitely call the vet on Monday, but I suspect the gas will still be an issue.
Shes not a fast eater, so why is this poor cat so gassy? And are there any meds I can ask the vet for To dissolve this gas? It really seems like she doesn’t pass gas. Her stools are usually small, but normal.
I welcome any ideas, thank you!
