I have a 16 year old cat who weighs about 6 lbs right now. She's always had vomiting issues. For the past year or so she has been vomiting after almost every meal and also she has had only diarrhea and has begun pooping everywhere including our bed. I've even seen her pool while she's walking. Nothing I feed her (I've tried it all) makes a difference, even boiled chicken. Currently she mainly eats canned food. She has been tolerating this one brand more than others. I've even tried various prescription diets, homemade diets, and nutri-cal. The Vet has run every test on her and found nothing. We've tried antibiotics with no results. She sleeps most of the time. She does not show any signs of discomfort or pain and purrs when held or petted.
I just feel so bad for her and want to stop the vomiting and diarrhea. Aside from the fact I'm constantly cleaning up after her and thanking God I have tile floors. I put a sheet over our blankets so I can wash the sheet when she poops or vomits on the bed. I will deal with the mess as long as I know she's not suffering living like this. In the past I've always known when it's time because our pets will have obvious pain or discomfort or they will be so old they'll stop eating all together but with this pet I'm uncertain of how to know. Sometimes I think I should have her put to sleep but the thought of that just breaks my heart. It would break my heart worse to know I prolonged her suffering by leaving her in this state if she is suffering. If anyone has dealt with this or has professional knowledge of this and can give me an opinion of what they might do I'd appreciate. I do not need advice on foods as I've tried them all. I just need to know what your thoughts are regarding her physical state in relation to whether she is suffering or not. Thank you.
