Has Symptoms

Midnight has usually been an active cat most of her life, but recently has developed some obsessive grooming and maybe some lethargy. Her eyes are still full of a lot of life, and she loves to lay against me when I work, but she no longer moves far from her cat beds, nor chases toys (she might try to catch them if they fly above her face). She doesn't even run for treats, and will only eat them if I put them by her feet. When I can get her to take a treat from my hand, she'll drop them more often. I took her to the vet when I saw the obsessive grooming. I got her a rabies shot, dewormed, urinalysis, blood profile, antibiotic shot, and also left with some antibiotics + soft/wet food for a UTI. I was told she had mouth ulcers, but wasn't told how to treat that. She hasn't lost or gained any weight in years (steady 12 lbs). There was also Atopica for allergies that I picked up a couple of days later, and I was told her blood profile "came back good". When I gave her Atopica was when her lethargy began. She HATES the medicine, and immediately begins salivating intensely when I give it to her. I tried to combine it with treats after, hoping she'll be more receptive, but she usually refuses to eat after the medicine, and will drop the treats a few times before she can eat them. In addition (and I've taken her to the vet for this several times before), she's been drinking a lot, and she's always had a very sensitive stomach and lots of hairballs, so she vomits almost every other day. --- I was gone for a month before this all started. The cats live with my aunt and I, so I don't think this was a bother for them. But while I was gone, my aunt switched their food to 9 Lives because they seemed to like it well and it was a cheaper alternative. We also recently took on a very sweet outdoor cat. But being outside with him, we tend to bring fleas indoors. Two of my cats might also not really like the flea collars we use? And now my grandma has been having back to back surgeries. So not only am I stressed, but I'm (along with my aunt) gone a lot from the house. I've switched back to their old random Friskies diet, as well as some Purina Gentle Diet hard food, thinking maybe she was allergic to the 9 Lives (since that was the next big change besides a new outdoor cat). I feel like any number of these things could be the cause of her lethargy. I rule out age simply because she had played some pretty active fetch since I'd been home (and she's only 11). Is there anything I can rule out, or anything I could change to help her get back to normal?

February, my cat was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome, nothing wrong with her eyes, teeth, gums, lymph nodes, liver, kidneys, etc. Just some gas. Cut to, weight loss and extensive vomiting. They put her on prednisone. Different vet in beginning of June, said she's full of fluid, can't tell if it's the liver, her hardened kidneys, or heart, but assume it's a cancerous tumor that burst and I should put her down!? I took her home and she's been eating and drinking and peeing but losing weight and not pooping enough. Past two days she's very lethargic and lays in bathroom on tile, but still eats like she's starved too death and drinking. I thought if I could get all the Prednisone out of her system another opinion could be more clear and concise, however, the lack of poop and not quite making all the way in her litter box to pee is concerning. I'm not sure if she's dying, and I'm afraid to take her to the vet because she gets soooo stressed out and needs gabapentin to calm her, and I really don't want to keep giving her drugs. I need help with any direction. Her left eye has became goopy with mucous the past two days and she's not able to open it all the way, her nose is dry, but she's drinking. I'm afraid another vet will tell me to put her down and miss something that could help her. I've had her from 3 days old and she's 15 now. We have had cats, because they don't go out, live until 19, 20 and 21. This cat fights for her life when I take her to the vet, I know she doesn't want to die and I'm scared of a misdiagnosis.

Why is my cat not responding to antibiotics?

0 Recommendations

Misdiagnosis among other issues are common concerns of pet owners especially in older animals where they think that it is easier for the Veterinarian to just suggest euthanasia instead of diagnosing and treating the condition. Without examining BabyGirl it is not possible for me to weigh in and give any meaningful advice here, but if you have concerns I would recommend visiting at least two different Veterinarians from two different practices to see if their advice correlates.
