vomiting and weight loss
Posted on 2008/01/27 by UserWe are having difficulty in getting a correct diagnosis for my 13-year old Ragdoll Cat. Sassy has a history of Kidney issues since a kitten. Therefore we are constantly testing her levels. On presciption canned and dry for IBD. Recently started having vomiting issues again. Has lost weight. In December started periordically vomiting liquid with signs of blood. Had complete blood work done, urinalysis and x-ray. Kidney levels had risen but still okay. Rest of blood work and tests fine. X-ray showed one kidney larger than the other, which has been her history. Tried sulcrafate with pepcid. Two doses and she has sudden onset of diarrhea and lost her appetite. Stopped meds....

weight loss - vomiting - hair loss
Posted on 2008/01/28 by UserMy oldest cat - female, 14 year old - is struggling with severe weight loss and vomiting. The vet did a blood test (about two months ago) and excluded feline leukemia (she gets her yearly shots). She was put on an antibiotic and there was some improvement with some weight gain. On 12/20/07 we had to board her during our winter break. When I picked her up (01/03/08), I noticed immediately that she had lost weight again. The vet said it could be because of the boarding and we should give it some time. Although she hasn't lost anymore weight (I try to keep vomiting to a minimum by feeding her small amounts), she hasn't gained too much either and to make things worse,...

Cat refuses food and water
Posted on 2008/01/31 by diana15, refusing food & occasionally accepting water. (water must be fresh & brought to her) Recently had a few weeks of severe diarrhea. She remained hydrated, active and happy. Then she pooped a few times and now has been dropping weight for a few weeks. Minimal poop (minimal intake) and limited urination (ditto) She just vomited the last bit of water she drank, 15 minutes ago. My quandary: I don't want big medical interventions. I want her to be without pain and I want a peaceful, comfortable ending, if that is what's happening... (her temperament has not changed, sleeping a lot)
