Hi!
I need a bit of a second opinion. I am very wary of vets in my neighborhood and was hoping I could get some alternatives / options with my sick kitty.
Thunder, our 5 year old indoor norwegian forest cat, has recently started to vomit up all his food. He can't seem to keep anything down. From what we can tell his is also becoming constipated, and hasn't been peeing all that much.
We brought him to our vet today. She said he seemed totally healthy and didn't show any signs of being sick at all. She wanted to take x-rays and do blood work on him, but we thought we'd try a less drastic approach first. She gave him some sort of anti-nausea / laxative shot, and the same thing in pill-form, i think it's called Apo-Metoclop.
She told us to take him home and try to get him to drink some canned tuna water mixed with water and see if he could keep it down. He wasn't able to.
He's been sleeping and seeking our attention for a good scratch, especially on his face. He's purring and seeking much more attention than usual.
We're going to bring him back to the vet tomorrow, but before we go spending all of our money, we were wondering if anyone's experienced similar and might have something else we could try.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
