Hello there. This is Dr.Paul Brazzell. I am sorry that you are having trouble with Beau-Beau.
I can understand how stressful it is for you. I will do my utmost best to help you. Please note that it may take a few minutes to see my reply to your posts. Discussing the case by phone allows me to be more efficient and accurate in assessing the problem. Now, let’s see if we can get this sorted out for you. How many times has he vomited?
Thank you so much. Is his tummy enlarged? Is he breathing faster or harder?
Thank you so much.
Does he have any other medical problems? Is he taking any medications?
Thank you for that information. Please give me a few minutes to type my recommendations.
Okay, I am back. I am very worried about Beau Beau. He is seventeen, and there are many differentials here- gastritis, pancreatitis, foreign body, kidney/liver disease, dental disease, peritonitis, cholecystitis, dietary indiscretion, kidney infection, and neoplasia, to name a few. Also, we have to worry about fatty liver development secondary to his not eating. I would recommend taking him this morning for an examination, blood and urine testing, and supportive care until they can determine its cause. They will likely want to x-ray the abdomen to rule out masses and fluid.
I am sorry to have to recommend this. Inappetent cats are considered a medical emergency.
You are so very welcome. Please keep me apprised.
