Hello everyone.
I hope that this is the appropriate category to post this in, and if not I do apologize. We're unsure of what to do at this point, and looking for any insight as to what could be going on.
Three days ago, we set out some canned food for our two year old cat named Alani. About five minutes after eating a bit of it, she vomited about three or four times in a row. After that, any food that she tried to eat would come back up about an hour or so after ingesting it. Again, vomiting three to four times in a row about six or seven times that evening. The next day she was continuing to vomit up any food that she ingested. She still had an appetite, she just couldn't keep anything down. She was also acting normally otherwise. Playing, running around, etc. We took her in to an emergency clinic and they did a few xrays and blood work, and everything appeared to be normal.
When we took her home to monitor her yesterday, Alani was extremely tired from the sedative and nausea medication that they gave her ( Gabapentin & Cerenia ). She slept a majority of the day and had no interest in eating. We figured she'd perk up the following day, and although she's more active now and wandering the house, she has no interest in any food that we offer her. She has defecated once, and she hasn't vomited since they gave her the anti nausea injection.
She's an extremely skittish cat, and they said she was terrified the entire time at the clinic. Could this be part of why she isn't eating a day later?
As of now, we're unsure of what to do, and we're incredibly concerned for her... We're going to take her back in for additional testing if she doesn't improve by tonight, but... we're really at a loss.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, and I do apologize for writing an essay!
Thank you so much!
