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?

Customer
Approx 3 times today, 4 times yesterday and 3 times the day before

Thank you so much. Is his tummy enlarged? Is he breathing faster or harder?

Customer
Tummy seems to be okay, breathing seems normal, is purring?

Thank you so much.

Does he have any other medical problems? Is he taking any medications?

Customer
No, not that we know of.
Not on any meds....

Thank you for that information. Please give me a few minutes to type my recommendations.

Customer
He was always a big eater

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.

Customer
Okay, I understand.
Thanks for your help!

You are so very welcome. Please keep me apprised.

Please feel to reach out to me if you have any more questions regarding this problem or any future concerns. I am here to help!
