Hello. our cat is a 7 years old indoor cat.
about a week ago he started vomiting, then he stopped vomiting but also stopped eating.
we tried to offer him every food possible, he seemed interested but as soon as he tried to eat he would immediately leave it.
The vet said she will have to sedate him to check him, since he's very anxious and won't let her check him thoroughly otherwise.
but I remembered that the last time he had to be sedated it took him about 2 days to get back to normal, so we just took him back home.
she gave us some paste that suppose to help with hairballs, in case it's some hair that's stuck in his bowls, and some new wet food to try.
we waited 2 more days without him touching food, other than licking it a bit then leaving it. then took him for blood tests and body x-ray.
The blood tests came out good, and the x-ray showed that there's something in his small bowels, but it wasn't too clear.
she gave him a wake up shot with B12 that supposed to make him eat and sent us home.
for the first hour of being home he was indeed very hungry and ate quite a bit. then the shot effect decayed, and he stopped eating again.
as expected, it took him more than 24 hours to overcome the sedation, and he still is very "not himself" to this moment (3 days later).
when we got back from the vet he had (healthy looking) feces once, and he peed a couple of times.
After he still refused to eat today, we called the vet. she gave us Cerenia to help with his appetite, and Onsior in case he's in pain.
he took the Onsior, and after the Cerenia he started drooling so much it was scary,
so we called the vet but she said it's probably because the medicine touched his taste buds.
he also started to go to the litter box and do nothing, then exit (we're checking after every time he goes in).
He didn't eat anything yet, and it's been nearly 5 hours since he got both meds. we offered everything we could.
he did show a bit more interest when we offered him some grass (which he goes crazy for, on a regular day), but even then he wouldn't really eat it.
at one point he smelled some of the food and started drooling again, then ran away from it.
I thought maybe we should puree his food and mix it with water then feed him with a syringe?
We just don't know what to do anymore and would love any type of advice.
