Hello!
I am a new poster here, but I am seriously worried about my cat.
Background information:
RJ is 4 years old. She is mixed, with Russian blue dominant. She has had cloudy eyes since birth; our vet thinks that she was exposed to a virus in utero. She is able to see.
RJ is currently recieving vet visits bi-monthly. She has been going to the vet for the last 3 months due to excessive vomiting. She has had an x-ray, blood work, and multiple stool samples. She is currently medicated with 1/4 a tablet of Metoclopromide, due to her vomiting. She was losing weight rapidly, but for the last 2 months she has been maintaining weight at 8 pounds. There is no indication of kidney issues. Her liver was slightly enlarged, according to the x-ray.
She was unable to keep any hard food down, so we have been feeding her wet food (3 feedings daily) and treats early am (4:30 am, due to getting up for work) to help combat her vomiting. This, in combination with the medication, has made it so she doesn't vomit as often, maybe 3 times in a week. She became constipated, so she is also getting a teaspoon of Laxatone everynight.
RJ refuses any wet food that isn't Friskies. So, that is what we provide for her. We have tried every wetfood brand from Petsmart and Walmart, but that is all she will eat.
Current issue.
For the last 4 hours, she has been extremely anti-social. She growls and hisses at our other cats and at me. (Which is highly abnormal behavior, as she is a very friendly cat). The other cats don't have to be near her. If she can see them, she growls.
She has been drooling.
She has also been hiding in her cathouse.
She has only ate one meal today, and refuses treats.
Her coat is sleek, she has no nasal discharge, her eyes have no discharge.
I am at a loss at what to do. Any suggestions? I think I am going to call the vet tomorrow.
