.......... I HATE TWO FACED PEOPLE...ITS SO HARD TO KNOW WHICH FACE TO SLAP FIRST!

Hi Annie

I've been searching for an answer to a my cats problem that sounds very similar to yours and I was wondering if you have found any answers.

She is 14 and I noticed about 4 weeks ago that she vomited a few times. This was not food but just clear frothy vomit. I didn't think anything of it at the time. But around the same time she started to go off her food. Something that was very unusual for her as she loved to eat and was a bit overweight. Since then she has continued to lose weight and we've taken her to the vet several times for tests that have all been inconclusive except that her white cell count was a little high.
She seems hungry but she either just licks of the food or walks away, although she still does drink water. I don't think it has anything to do with the food as we have tried every type of food there is.
Also her 'mood' seems different and she is not as affectionate is she used to be and tends to keep to herself.

For the last couple of days we've had her on Prednisalone (steroid- 5mg 2 x day) which has made her more vocal and she is trying to eat.
When she does eat she seems to want to eat on one side of her mouth and makes a really awful grinding noise.

With the tiny amounts she is eating and the ongoing weight lose I'm sure she will last much longer - so any advice is appreciated.

Peter

Peter, I will PM you later. However, I must say that my news is not good. My
beautiful, loving, sweet, perfect little girl died in our arms on 13th Aug .at 3.45am She had a peaceful pain free death with us both talking, cuddling and singing to her. She is gone and we are heartbroken.

I will do everything I can to help and perhaps if we had gone to our new vet right from the start out outcome might have been different so please please don't give up hope.
I honestly believe that to be the total truth. I had no intention of ever comming back on here but when I got the email with your post I had to.
If I thought there was no hope I wouldn't have done so.
I will PM you shortly with all thre details of the illness, tests and drugs used.
Please please don't give up hope.
We send all our love to you and your lovely little girl.
Good luck.
Kind regards,
Annie. xxx

Hi, I know it's almost a year later but Im wondering if I could get any information on what happened to the cat. I have been researching information and stumbled on this website. I have a little kitty who isn't even one year old yet and has been having the same problems for a few weeks now. We've taken him to the vet so many times and have had test, after test done and they have found nothing wrong with him. He barely eats any food, wet or dry and we pretty much have to force it down his throat or make him stand in front of the food in order to eat any at all. He has lost a lot of weight, very lethargic, sleeps all the time, sometimes makes a gagging noise when he smells food, he makes a loud grinding noise when he does eat. I thought maybe the grinding noise was just him eating dry food but when he chews the wet food he also tilts his head and makes the grinding noise. If anyone can please help, I would really appreciate it!
