I've had him to the vet, (5 yr old siamese) because of this twice within the past 3 months. It started with him vomiting up his food almost daily and at that point the vet said he probably had a condition similar to ulcers. Gave him an injection and then a follow-up injection a few weeks later. The vomiting stopped until today. He has vomited up his totally undigested food twice. However, the last time he was at the vet he was dehydrated and the vet injected fluid under his skin which made him look like a camel for several hours. He then became better and filled out.
We purchased an automatic water fountain to try to entice him to drink more water, but that doesn't seem to be working. Once again, he appears dehydrated. I can feel his vertebra and his sides are kinda suck in in front of his hind quarters. His fur has gotten quite course, and when he fluffs his tail, it looks more like a rat's tail than an exited cat's tail.
Both Bandit and his littermate are fed the same food, and Ding-a-Ling appears perfectly healthy. I have had them with the same vet since I purchased them 5 years ago, but I really think I have to find a vet that specializes in Siamese cats and I don't know how to go about finding that out. Living here in central Florida leaves much to be desired in finding specialized help in any field.
Any suggestions anyone has would be greatly appreciated. I want my little boy to get well.
