My four year old cat Taz hasn't been feeling well for almost a week. On Thursday, I noticed he vomited three or four times after he ate lunch. He was fine after eating dinner and before bed. Then the same thing happened Friday afternoon. I don't remember him vomiting on Saturday, but on Sunday he wasn't interested in food, which isn't normal for him. He'd come running when he heard the food dish, smell it, and walk away. Thinking back, I don't think he's had a bowel movement since at least Thursday. We have three house cats, so it's hard to monitor just one. But he has horrid smelling bowel movements and our house hasn't been smelly since Thursday.
Anyway, we rushed him to the vet yesterday morning. They did bloodwork and took an xray, which showed that he has excessive trapped gas but it didn't appear that he had much of a blockage other then what was infront/behind the gas. They gave him some anti-vomit medicine, and sent us home with some Laxatone. He did fine, wanted to eat up until around 6pm when the vomiting started again. I took him back to the vet today, his bloodwork was perfect, no temp or anything. They sent me home with an antibiotic and more anti-vomiting meds. He is still active and alert, and was interested in eating until he started throwing up again about an hour ago. I am even giving him "baby anti-gas drops", hoping that they will help some. I am at my wits end. He isn't drinking much, so I'm having to try to give him water with moist food. But my fear is that until the gas and feces in his stomach starts to come out, he's going to continue to throw up whatever he eats because there's no where for the food/water to go. I'm extremely upset that the vet doesn't seem too bothered by this, thinking "it will pass". I'm freaking out! We only have two vets in town, and the other one is a complete whacko.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any ideas on what I can do to help him?
