One of my cats has been ill for some time. It started with occasional vomiting about 18 months ago but then she had a bad worm infestation due to the fact she was throwing up her worming tablet (she now has defender spot on worming medication). The vomiting has got progressively worse. She is now emaciated.
She's nearly 8 years old. She has had all of her annual vaccinations since she was a kitten. 3 lots of blood tests since October have shown up nothing and a set of Xrays the same. Various expensive special diet cat foods don't tempt her any better than ordinary cat food. Though dry food does make her vomit. With the wet food she tends to lick off the gravey / jelly and leaves the rest. Have tried her with fish and chicken too.
As far as I know she hasn't vomited in the house for exactly a week. She eats little and often alone so that my other 2 cats don't eat her food. Wether she's going outside to vomit I don't know but I doubt it because in the last couple of days she has stopped going outside and I've had to set up a litter tray for her. My daughter wants her to be referred at great expense to a specialist (She is willing to pay) insurance won't pay up because she has only been insured for a year and they are classing it as a pre existing condition even though we don't know what it is.
I know a lot of you have cats and wondered if you have had any similar experiences to this. It's getting to the point that we don't want to see her suffering any more but still hoping she will pick up.
