Vomitting, Diarrhoea, and Normal Temperature?
I am looking for some insights or sugestions based on other cat owners
experience with cats with similar symptoms. I left on an over night trip on Tuesday, my cat Elliott seemed his usual self when I left. When I came home on Wednesday night he was listless, had diarrhoea and was vomiting. He has had some short boughts of diarrhea in the past but nothing serious. I called the vet on Thursday and they saw him. His blood tests are normal (for a 9 year old), Lymphosytes (sp??) were a little low but the vet did not seemd concerned. They gave him an injection of fluid and sent him home. He did not eat or drink anything on Friday, when I brought him back on Saturday and they admitted him to emergency. What I know so far is: His temerature is normal He will not eat, or is eating VERY little He does not appear to be drinking His blood tests, xrays, and urine tests are all OK He appeared healthier today but still has diarrhoea He was not vomiting in the hospital His vomit was originally white and foamy This progressed to green after a couple of days He tends to vomit right after a bowel movement He was having some inadvertant bowel movement during vomiting earlier on The vet seems to be stumped, and I cannot afford an infinite amount of tests. Has anyone elses cat suffered through this and what was the cause??? |

Assuming the cat has been x-rayed for possible blockages, including bladder stones and gallstones, and that the cat did not ingest any poisons or toxins, including lawn chemicals, plants, bug repellant, etc, and has been vaccinated for distemper and that the cat does not have cancer... My semi-educated guess... IBD? http://www.nhahonline.com/f_gastrointestinal.htm Quote:
