Looking forward to the diagnosis.

I think I'll be the third one on the thread to recommend coconut oil. Anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial, strengthens their immune system. It is a partially water-soluble, medium-chained fatty-acid, letting it be metabolized easier than other fats.

This is helpful to an ill kitty who is still eating. It helps their energy level.

I use the type that doesn't have the coconut taste, the one that can be used for pan-frying. Organic expellor pressed non-gmo. The one I use is made by Spectrum. Tried others, but one of my kitties has decided this is the only one for her, lol. It's about 7 bucks and lasts months.

I give her about 1/4 tsp. a day, she licks it right off the spoon. Been going her this for 5 years, she'll be 10 in January. She's the oldest and healthiest kitty I have, and hasn't been sick in years, knock on wood.

Never throws up anymore, no more hairballs. Always happy. Unless I've forgotten to give her the spoon of coconut oil and then she starts howling when I've laid down to rest and she has realized she hasn't gotten her oil. So I get back up and give it to her and all is good for another day.

Here's a couple of links to help you decide if coconut oil is something you'd like to try.
