My cat was throwing up about once a month back in 2017 (now 2021) and my original vet had no idea, even with x-rays and blood work, what the problem was. Finally got referred to a specialty hospital where I've been ever since (original vet no longer in business). Before that, the frequency became every two weeks or so. The vet there ran an ultrasound and has been doing blood work. Thinks the cat (now 14 years old) has IBS or Lymphoma but, based on time-frames, decided it was more likely IBS. Without spending an exorbitant amount of money (I am retired) the specialty vet decided we should go with 10 mls of prednisolone daily and she had been on that until this year (2021).. Then her vomiting got worse, becoming a semi-weekly event. The part that bothered me was the cat was in distress for about 12 hours twice a week. The vet raised her dosage to 1.5 ml once per day and that made the cat's recovery time a lot shorter. So, now, he has her on 1.5 ml twice a day and she is no longer throwing up but is putting on a lot more weight so I have to watch how much she is eating. He also ordered Chlorambucil 6 mg one pill every two weeks for four pills total. Just the bag it came in "Chemotherapy" has me very nervous. The vet did suggest another ultra-sound, and a surgical biopsy but couldn't give me a feeling that it would solve anything as to exactly why she is throwing up and I'm in a financial "hole" at the moment. So, I'm hoping that if you have been through this medication, could you or anyone give me an idea what to expect? It sounds like she will not be feeling well for about 24 hours but are there any dangers? Anything to watch out for? I have a call into the vet but I hope that someone who has been through this could give me more personal insight. Thank you all..
