Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / August 2006sick vomitting cat
My adult cat (nearly 10 years old) is throwing up her food every time she eat for the past few weeks. It's not hairballs..what can i do to help her not throw up? She has become so thin, only weighs around 1.8 kg. I have not changed her food,she has been eating the same food for years. She have a very good appetite because she tried to eat all the time, but she just couldn't keep anything down. I took her to the vet yesterday, he did some blood tests on her and also took some x-ray, but found nothing wrong with her. He said he could operate on her (open her up inside) and have a look, but I am just afraid that she won't survive surgery. Plus who know if they will find anything even if they open her up :~( Please help me, I love my cat. She have been my best friend for the last 10 years and I don't want to lose her, but I also don't want her to suffer. What should I do now? How can I make her better? Any ideas, help is much appreciated. Could be inflammatory bowel syndrome. See another vet ASAP.

Did the vet discuss thyroid issues with you or send out blood work for thyroid disease? >> My adult cat (nearly 10 years old) is throwing up her food every time >> she eat for the past few weeks. It's not hairballs..what can i do to [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Did the vet discuss thyroid issues with you or send out blood work for > thyroid disease? I was about to ask the same question. The vet did a full blood test on her, and also 4 or 5 X-ray he couldn't find anything wrong. He think she have stomach cancer, but he wasn't very confident, so he wanted to operate on her (i.e open her up) and have a look inside. My cat is very old, and weak, so the chance of her surviving the operation is not good, and plus who know if the vet can find anything wrong with her. After coming home from the vet, I fed her (with special vetinary cat food) a little (1 tea spoon) in every couple of hours. She is able to hold those food down. I also gave her some lactose free milk, and she drank it too. I will take her to another vet for second opinion. Thank you all for your help/advise. It's much appreciated. 10 isn't that old...my cat is 20...throwing up, thin, large appatite....sounds like a thyroid problem....which isn't a really bad thing to have...1 pill a day ,or radioiodine treatment...expensive though > The vet did a full blood test on her, and also 4 or 5 X-ray he couldn't > find anything wrong.
