Below is her information - As of tonight the Cerenia isn't working to stop her nausea and she won't eat at all, she is drinking a little bit. If the Cerenia doesn't work then I don't know what to do.
Sasha Bella - 14 year old DSH tabby
Health History - regurgitates food frequently, has done this most of her life (at least 10 years), no other symptoms
Recently lost 1 lb and is drinking water more and peeing more
Wednesday - November 22, 2023
Arrived home and Sasha had vomited all over the house. She did not want to drink or eat at all. Started her on Cerenia (Maropitrant Citrate) once a day to alleviate nausea. 2 hours after she takes the Cerenia she is able to eat and drink for about 10-12 hours.
Vet Visit - November 27, 2023
Blood Tests, Xrays
X-ray showed some white shading in the lungs, the vet thinks she may have a mild case of asthma. She had to be sedated (gas sedation) for testing because she was so nervous. The sedation was very light, about 10-15 minutes but she had trouble breathing so they could only do some of the testing.
X-ray showed swelling in her intestines but nothing else remarkable.
Blood tests were all within normal limits. No issues with kidney function or diabetes.
The vet does not know what to do next. The vet prescribed Prednisolone 1.25 mg twice per day and Doxycycline Oral. Two tests were sent to Texas and should come back on Thursday. Those are for Cobalamin Deficiency and Thyroid.
As of today, Tuesday, November 28th - she is not responding to the 16 mg dose of Cerenia. She will not eat and is drinking very little. She has been peeing and having some normal bowel movements along with diarrhea at times.
