Update meeting with the vet 07-02-2023: I talked to the vet and even with all of Tuni's symptoms (drinking a lot of water, urinating many times, licking genital area, constantly licking lips and swallowing, unusual sound with cheeks when smelling), he said it could be “things from the age” and he indicated a gel for the hairballs due to accute vomiting 1 week ago.
A few hours ago I gave her the gel with some fancy feast classic and 1 hour later, she vomited a lot of water and the little food she had ingested, then she sneezed around 20 times and she had a face of fear and pain (although she is not very sociable, looked to me for help) that broke my heart. Minutes later she calmed down but couldn't find a position or place to feel better, she tried to sleep and then I could hear the stomach rumblings that had gone away with last week's vomiting. These are the components of the gel: malt extract, vitamin a and e, thiamine, taurine, oleo del peixe, soy lecithin.
Please I ask for your opinions to know what may be happening. thank you so much.

Hello, Tuni has new results for T4, biochemistry and fructosamine. It's all very confusing...
T4: The first result was 8.4 ug/dl (december 29), but the second 2 days ago was 3.4 ug/dl.
Fructosamine: The only result (2 days ago) was 397, but the basal glucose of 2 biochemicals were at the limit (they could even be high because Tuni is very, very stressful).
In addition, his urinary density is low (1015), but SDMA and UPC are normal (2 weeks ago). The abdominal ultrasound (1 month ago) showed possible chronic pancreatitis and cholescytitis.
Tuni until december ate cooked chicken, turkey and a little hearts (2 months a year eat dry food orijen or acana). So the vet said to give him senior dry food and I half followed his instructions (the last month give him cooked chicken and dry food plus wet food like fancy feast, royal canin and n&d), but it was not the best idea, Tuni has been having stomach rumblings and vomiting the last days. Last week, although I don't know if it's because of the new diet or because the last week she has eaten giant nocturnal moths....
In addition, his last two stools have been strange (sorry for attaching the unpleasant image). N1 was vertically segmented like a hot dog bun and N2 was 2 thin stools forming a sort of braid. both with a somewhat reddish tone on the outside.
I am really very distressed and still waiting for the vet to call me to see diagnosis and clinical management. I ask you to please tell me about your experiences and if you have any idea what might be happening with my little cat. You can't imagine how much she suffers in silence when going to the vet, for her it's the worst thing in the world.
Thank you.
