Our 2 year old cat has been the picture of health until last Tuesday.....she vomited on our landing and on our bed but was still her usual self. Overnight she vomited twice more. She was generally out of sorts so we took her to the vets on a Wednesday afternoon....we got a young vet who gave an anti-sickness jab and gave me a tube of Catalax saying that as she was long haired it could be a hair all and the Catalax would help things along.
Trying to get the Catalax in her has been fun (not) can't tell if she has been for a poo as we have another cat and they share the litter tray. Thursday she still wasn't right and wasn't drinking so I was say ringing water into her, she wouldn't eat her food but had a few flakes of cod from our tea.
Friday she started drinking off her own bat but still not interested in food, she was tempted by some tuna tho' she brought most if it back up, she was a little more interested in things but preferring to just sit quietly. We took her back to the vets and this time the same vet said her tummy seemed a little tender and that it might be pancreatitis (??) so gave her another anti sickness jab and 2 painkiller jabs and said if no change to bring her back for xray and scans. (Temp was fine and no weight loss)
Seems to me the vet really hasn't got a clue what's wrong.
She's not even interested in tuna today tho' has had plenty of water, she's just sitting, wandering about and sitting again...and our other cat isn't really bothering with her at all. I'm concerned with her having an anaesthetic to have scans/X-rays.
Anyone had a similar issue that could help I'd really appreciate it. If there's no change she will go back to vets tomorrow.....I just don't want to put her thru' a whole load of stuff if outcome isn't going to be good. Is it worth asking for blood tests first? Can I ask to see another more experienced vet as I kind of feeling it's all guess work at the mo. We are insured so I'm not worried about finances.
Kitty is an indoor cat so can't have picked up anything nasty outside and as far as I know she hasn't eaten anything she shouldn't have.
Thanks for reading this far. Hoping someone can offer advice.
