Hello. My 16 year old cat, Boo has been to the vet in March for blood in his urine. We’ve done everything we could do. His blood test came back and everything looked great aside from the elevated levels of BU and Creatinine which we already knew of. He’s gotten x-rays done, everything looks good. The vet even did what she could do Ultrasound wise since I can’t go out of town to see a specialist. His bladder looked good to her. She recommended 5mg Famotidine to help with his puking.
April 3 he had one of his puking episodes where he would just puke clear sometimes foamy liquid all day. He’s been doing this for a while and it’s not all the time. I’d say about every couple of months. This was the first thing he went to our former vet about, we did blood work and it looks good and then she just gave us Fortiflora for his puking. He continued to puke that weekend twice on April 4 in the morning and then was fine the rest of the day. Eating, drinking water. Then on April 5 he ended up puking in the morning again and it had a bit of blood (picture below). I waited until that Wednesday to let the vet know because he just stopped puking completely and was fine until then.
April 23 he’s been puking still and to add to that he is having diarrhea. But he seems to be straining? He dropped a little diarrhea left and would come back a few minutes later and do that again. He is still peeing, but I was watching him and I noticed his urine is really blood red (picture below). Saturday he was still puking but no diarrhea. Today, he did the same diarrhea(straining?) and did that 4 times. I noticed his butt was covered with diarrhea and we cleaned him up. Aside from this he is acting a bit withdrawn, he hasn’t eaten since last night (10pm) and he’s drinking water still.
I’m scared and feel guilty because I can’t do anything more than what we’ve already done for him. Which the Vet has said they have done everything they can and are at the end of their line of what they can do for him. The only other option is to go out of town to see a specialist to look further into Ultrasounds. But right now we can’t do that.
