Ended up having cancer and supplements kept him going another year when vet only gave him a month... had vet come to house to send him on his way... You may be tight on money, but I can tell you this, nothing haunt you worse than thinking what if you had spent the money, at least to find out what was wrong and if easy fix. Humans will always get some type of help, fur buddies rely on us... [/quote] Thanks American Patriot :hf: I have wrote down all your suggestions. This is weighing on me. I just gotta make the right decision. I love my cat but I love my husband to. My husband has problems with his liver and I know I will need the money for him. Just thinking about putting more financial stress on us is giving me a headache. I thought his poo looked dark but the blood work looked normal. As for the x-ray everything was pretty empty yesterday. No food in his stomach, nothing in the intestines no hair balls, just a little something that the vet said could be stools but she wasn't sure. She did give us two medicines. One the first visit and another when we went yesterday. She said she wanted to see if those worked first. I need to head to bed but I will update tomorrow. Thanks for the pin. [/quote] What are the medicines? [/quote] Prednisolone 1cc once a day Reglan 1/2 cc twice a day [/quote] Anti-inflammatory Ant-nausea The first one is some bad shit... however with that said, I would try it, but SHORT TERM ONLY. Vet should have prescribed a appetite stimulant. Pepcid AC and Slippery Elm Bark are basically the same thing as Reglan. [/quote]

I'm looking for any kind theories on what might be wrong with him.
I have taken him to the vet twice in the last week. The vet says he isn't running a fever, teeth look good, blood tests are normal, and his x-ray looked ok. The vet wasn't sure what one spot on the x-ray might be. She said possibly stools. He is a big cat though and her feeling around with her hands she couldn't feel anything odd.
I have cleaned his food & water bowl and his litter box. He is drinking ok and he seems interested in food but everytime he eats he throws up. He even throws up when he hasn't eaten.
I did catch him eating on my coneflower but he has done that in the past. As far as Google it doesn't seem to be a poisonous plant but now I have it put up.
Next is an ultrasound for him. However i'm really low on money and not sure how much further I can go. I really don't want to put him down because he was fine a couple weeks ago.
