My 18 (probably 19-20 originally) Pound 5 year old Tabby has stopped eating.
He has been vomiting occasionally, but not always. - just bile - but one time it was bloody like ....tissue? I dunno it was weird and by the time I got it to the vet it had dissolved. =( NOT food, though I know that.
He uses the litter box but hasn't pooped that I've seen in at least a week - hasn't ate since probably last Saturday - we've been gone a lot so take or leave it a day or two.
I've dropped about $900 in tests, with nothing definitive
Blood work has his nuetrophils slightly elevated
He's slighty dehydrated . so the.....salt? and something else is high in his urinalysis....I didn't grab the paperwork but it was suggestive of dehydration and digesting a small amount of blood
All other tests normal.
Xrays came back clean
Ultrasound came back with a slight thickening of his stomach wall on one side. - suggestive of an Ulcer possibly.
He doesn't have a runny nose, or gooey eyes.
He's lethargic and not himself - but not...."out of it", either.
His eyes are clear
So is his mouth. No sores, no abscessed teeth.
They prescribed some "Pepcid (liquid) " and Clavamox for the possible infection and one Other I can get the name if needed but it's for tummy upset.
He purrs when I pet him, too!
But he still after the prescriptions WILL NOT eat.
I grabbed a can of "potted meat" which would normally be a HUGE treat for him and he Gagged when I put it in front of him.
I tried some chopped ham and he seemed interested, licked it a few times - then was like..... nah.....even pushed it around the table with one nail like...I'm hungry...but....
I have a friend who's a large animal vet and he stopped by and gave me some Valium injections to give to him - and THAT doesn't even do anything. No change.
I don't get it. I'm scared his liver's gonna clog up and so I've been force - feeding him as much as I can get down his gullet A/D
He will lick the I/D I have but it's chunky - and it's almost like he's forgot how to chew and swallow? What in the serious F is going on?
I've seen similar posts but people never follow up on them so I don't know what the outcome was. =(
