Cat update
6 years ago
It's not a really good one
So a month or so ago i posted a journal asking for cat food advice. We took in my Gf's senior family cat with us some month ago now.
He was terribly thin at the time. His food diet was terrible, and his 16 y/o tummy couldnt take it, so he'd puke every morning. ( To their defense they did go to a vet and he was not helpful at all)
So once we got him we tried to change his diet, find something that could work for him - we were thinking of going home-made down the line, but we don't have the resources at hand atm - Also did a vet visit, got some shots, mouth medication, nothing much he could do at that moment.
But the good news is! He's been puke free for almost 2 weeks now ( excluding random furballs, we do brush him daily to aboid it as much as possible)
He's gained weight, he's no longer scary thin. He's not at an healthy weight yet either but he's getting there. SO that's the good news
The bad news is, we just came back from a vet visit. See this is a long week-end holiday here in Poland, and kitty found no better time to start pooping blood yesterday - What a bad birthay gift for me - so the panic to find one today was real.
Verdict is, not really sure right now. We have to go to give him shots again tomorrow and the day after. Got medication to give him and some Royal Canin food too that should help his tummy / make him gain the extra weight he needs a bit faster. We sure hope this will help him back into shape, before our wallet gets fully empty.
This is not all tho, the scary part is, there might be something wrong with his heart too. We don't know for sure yet, but the vet doesnt seem very happy with it.
So, I might be not all that responsive in the coming day because of vet visits. But I'll do my best to make as much work as possible to pay for his bills when i get the time.
Keep an eye out for my commissions prices going up soon, along with more YCH to come. Every euros is helpful.
I'm sorry this seems a bit like venting, but it's kinda frustrating. I also don't want to sound like i'm begging for money, we're not at this point yet, i hope we'll never be, it just worries me a lot.
As of right now, the boy is home, a bit dazed because of the medication he got and desesperate to get into our dishes even tho there's nothing for him there.
UPDATE: After going to the vet 6 days in a week, he's doing better thanks to the good number of medication and vet special food.
Sadly they did find a foreign / no identifiable mass during his x-ray ( radio? idk ) So the old man will have to get surgery in the coming week.
He's a senior cat who is still a bit underweight because of his eating problems, so this kinda scary. Hopefully the operation will go smoothly and wont be for nothing.
Once again i'm sorry for being so slow this month, we spend a lot of time at the vet and it's stressing us out a bit.

Hopefully your cat pulls through. Though I never had a cat (dog person here), I know what it's like to go through this. Good luck Yuu!
