So my cat is Bria, she is a wonderful black and white ragdoll. We have been trying to get by on what we can afford, which was 9 lives. She started having occasional spells first thing in the morning where she would get sick and vomit a little. I have had cats before and they were on kibble, so it just seemed normal to me that they go through this. Looking back i guess not. Anyway, i have done the best i can, i got blood work done for her and the vet literally told me that she doesnt know, right before telling me that she feeds her cats kibble. The bloodwork showed 2 things, that her glucose was a tad high, but not diabetic high and that the thing that shows if she is having kidney issues was showing elevated level but not enough to show proof it was her kidneys. So not knowing what else to do, i tapped my raw feeding knowledge. My family had a raw food business, but things went south between the stepfamily and I and we parted, but i do have a little knowledge i learned before that, so i have been trying to transition her off of canned food. At first we had some success. I was starting to add in bits of meat and she seemed to perk up the day i made it for her, i thought we nailed it and kept feeding her raw, but then she started to get constapated. Since then its been a struggle of adding mylax ( was told this is fine to replace psylium husk ) and tryingt different combos of meats and ratios to get it right. Each time i feed her though it seems she gets a bloated belly and pulls away from me and hides someplace till she feels better. But as time is going on she has gotten more distant. Last night i got really scared though. This whole time has felt like progress, rough progress, but progress. But after she got backed up the last time, i fed her hairball formula to help her pass and she did, so i figured i would run a mix of canned only through her so she would would have a easy time of digesting and thats when she stopped eating all together. Ive gotten her to eat a few nibbles here and there, but i swear its like she is confused on what to eat because everything i eat is making her sick, so she doesnt want to eat or something. Last night i cuaght her at 4amish with her head on the water dish looking dazed and later she vomited and had a little blood in it, which was new.
At this point i dont know what to do. Ive tried so many things and each one brought us enough hope to keep us from the vet, but in the end i can look back and see its just been a slow decline. The vet is no help, i dont have a lot of money to go crazy on this as im out of work and living off what is left of my life savings. I just dont know what to do. Ive had cats before, but ive never loved a cat like this, she kinda helped me grow my love and i just want to help her or if i have to end her suffering.
As of right now we are on watch. She has barely eaten in the lst 24 hours, she wont move from where she is and im thinking it might be time to take to the vet to end her pain. I have reading and memory issues, im trying to learn what i can, but my eyes go cross eyed and at this point, she doesnt need a dumby experimenting, we need help.
I dont know what else to say thats helpful, i havent slept right or eaten well in weeks, i hope im communicating properly. If anyone has any advice, im open.
Thank you for your time in reading this.
