Well Bandit ended up in the hospital again.
6 months ago he was hospitalized for stomach troubles (vomiting, dehydration and weight loss). After spending 4 days and numerous tests, they found nothing conclusive and thought perhaps he had something similar to acid reflux like humans get. He was put on Hills d/d canned.
He was doing good until 2 weeks ago when the vomiting started up again and then he quit eating altogether.
Initally the vet suspected arthritis in his back (prescribed Rimadyl for 4 days) and since he had a temp. also gave him a round of anitbiotics. He did a bit better for about 3 days then went down hill again. He is now in the hospital since yesterday. His blood tests are all negative/normal and they were to try giving him food today to see if he will be able to hold it down and then collect a stool sample.
I did some looking on Hills website and it sounds to me like the i/d food might be a better choice if he is having gasterointestinal problems. I will ask the vet about this.
Has anyone had a cat with anything similar to this happen and what was the out come for you?
Bandit is my 8 yr old male(n) purebred Snowshoe
