Mindy has heartburn

[cats4ever]

Since I don't have enough cats on medications, Mindy decided to have acid reflux.
Over the past few years, she's been regurgitating food while eating. It happened really infrequently, and I wasn't concerned.
Lately, whenever she was resting, she started having "hiccups", where something would come up her throat (presumably stomach acid) which then she had to swallow back down. And her chin always stays wet from saliva.
I finally started putting all those things together, and the vet agreed that it is most likely acid reflux.
Her vet put her on omeprazole to see if it will make her more comfortable.
Otherwise, there will be more diagnostics. I keep my fingers crossed that the medication will help.

Mom, I think you misspelled my name!

We're sending you best wishes, dearest Mindy, that the omeprazole will help you.

I take that myself for heartburn, and it helps me!

*kisses to Mindy*
I hope the omeprazole will help a lot!

We hit a bump in the road to being free of heartburn.
Since Mindy started omeprazole, she had been anorexic a couple of times. The first time, I found her in the morning, both eyes almost shut with yellow discharge, and totally inappetent. Her bloodwork was completely normal. By the evening, she was back to being Mindy.
Yesterday, she vomited her supper, and then she would only pick at her food.
She saw her vet today, and it was decided to suspend the omeprazole for 2 weeks, in case all of this is related to the medicine. I also took her blood pressure, and it is on the high end of normal.
Nothing really makes sense, and since the beginning of July, Mindy has been sickly. She used to be my healthiest kitty.
Even the vet doesn't have any real answers right now.
Please send some healing thoughts to get my sweet lap kitty through this!
