I have a 10 year old male. *Three days ago he vomited. *He had eaten
about 3 *hours earlier but what he threw up was food. *I give him dry
food, but it had been digested so there were no pieces. *He does
occasionally throw up right after eating, but then it still looks like
dry food.

After he threw up he seemed to feel sick. *About 5 hours later he
threw up again. *Same thing - food. *After that he felt great. *He was
starving, playful, normal. *I fed him. *He was fine all night and the
next morning. *He finished his breakfast and was fine. *Later that day
he threw up again. *Afterwards he looked awful. *The next morning he
was hungry so I gave him a little canned food with chicken broth. *He
ate it but still looked awful.

I took him to the vet. *No fever and no tenderness. *They looked under
his tongue to see if he may have swallowed a string. *They did lots of
blood tests and urine analysis. *Everything looked fine. *He didn't
throw up that day but still looked bad. *Yesterday I took him back for
x-rays. *The results were "inconclusive". *They said he had gas in his
abdomen and something in his small intestines. *They couldn't tell if
it was fecal matter or a blockage. *He hadn't had a bm in a few days.
They told me if it continued today to come for a follow-up x-ray.

He ate last night (canned food with chicken broth) and seemed to feel
very comfortable but tired. *He pooped during the night and this
morning he was in my face for breakfast. *Today he continues to eat
and then looks uncomfortable. *He does some lip licking, almost like
he's sick to his stomach. *He hasn't thrown up in two days. *The only
thing the vet is having me do is to give him Pepcid 2.5mg twice a day.

What could be wrong with him? * He does everything normal like eat,
poop, groom, pee, but he just mopes around and clearly does not feel
well.

I feel so helpless. *If he isn't better by tomorrow afternoon I'll
take him back to the vet, but to be honest I've already spent over
$500 and they still don't have a clue. *I don't know what else they
can do.

I decided to have the ultrasound done today. I didn't want to go
through the weekend not knowing if my cat had cancer or not. Turns
out he has pancreatitis. Serious, but better than cancer. Pretty
weird that I'm actually elated that he has pancreatitis.
