At A Loss

[tiffmaxee]

I’m so sorry to read about this. I’m nit familiar with Maxalon. Ondansetron worked really well for Max. Like Ron said cerenia also works and often both are given. Cerenia usually lasts 24 hours whereas ondansetron (zofran) can be given every 8 hours. I’d try them before throwing in the towel but you know your baby best. Max was pretty sick so many times but bounced back with tge right medications. When heart disease and kidney disease were diagnosed nothing worked and I had to let him go.

IMPORTANT! I just looked up Maxalon. The other name is Reglan. It does not work for nausea in cats like it does for dogs. I hope you read this before making the decision.

Thanks for that.
I woke to give Sush her insulin 20 minutes ago to find her vomiting liquid food. She barely ate over night.
I put 1/2 can of Hills a/d down.
Shortly after vomiting and with me sitting in the lounge she ate close to 1/4.
But she still keeps screaming at me which isn't normal. Plus she slept on and off on my bed through the night.
With all the food she ate yesterday, she didn't poop over night - weird. Noticed she drunk a bit last night, but pee last nigt and this morning are only very teeny.
I really think she is shutting down and she is spending as much time as she can with me by coming up on my bed like she is. It's not an easy task for her, even with the stairs I built her a month or so ago.
Something else I have noticed is she is constantly purring to herself. She only ever purred befored when you pat her.

I am so sorry you don’t think Sushey is improving. I agree with what @tiffmaxee said about the cerenia and zofran. They can help cats bounce back from not eating by getting rid of the nausea which stops them eating.
Did the vet think she was dehydrated yesterday?
You know your girl best and you must do what you think is best for her.

Thank you.
My vet is on today (normally it's one of the others), so she will go over her again to make sure there's nothing more we can do.
But her out put has slowed big time on urine and ceased on bowels.
In the past when she has been feeling nasty with the IBD, the SEB has always worked to settle everything and get her back on track with eating.
But I will definitely see what the vet says when she goes over Sush.

Each time I go outside in the past 12hrs, Sush has wanted to follow. She doesn't want me out of her sight.
Never been like that before.

I know how hard it is at this stage. I have had an IBD kitty and I understand what you are going through.
Might be worth a try to see if the cerenia and or Zofran works. She might need something stronger than SEB to get her over this episode. Also ask if she is dehydrated. That would make her feel lethargic and could explain the low pee output.
You know Sushey best and you have to do what you think is best for her.
