Pooka was diagnosed in May 2019 and has been on Prozinc 1 unit twice a day and friskies pate. Last week I noticed she has not been finishing her dinner/breakfast or asking for snacks. Last Thursday night she did not finish her dinner and vomited late that evening yellow bile and plastic.
***Backstory***
Every since Pooka was a kitten she has had a fascination with plastic. I do not know why she eats it but she would eat plastic and would either pass or vomit it back up.

Anyways, She continued to vomit all Thursday even and into Friday morning. She did not want to eat and her blood sugar was 200 so I did not give her a shot. I took her to the vet Friday morning and he ran a complete blood test with liver and pancreas test and everything came back normal except for her blood sugar at 281 and her MCH was 19.4. The Vet told me the test was unremarkable and rub some Mirataz on her ear to stimulate an appetite and gave me a can of Hill's Prescription Diet a/d Canine/Feline. Friday afternoon until Saturday Morning Pooka continued to vomit and did not have an appetite. She was drinking a lot of water and peeing but not pooping. Vet called me to check in on Pooka and suggested I bring her in Saturday for fluids and anti-nausea medicine. At the vet Pooka received subcutaneous fluid, X-ray and a shot of Cerenia. The X-ray did not show anything abnormal except for A LOT of poop. Her large intestines was full of poop. The vet said he did not feel any hard poop during his physical exam and suggested getting food in her to help push out the poop. He sent me home with 16mg Cerenia and I am suppose to give Pooka a half pill per day starting Sunday morning.
The Cerenia shot worked Pooka did not vomit but she still has not had an appetite. After the Cerenia shot I noticed Pooka was kinda unsteady, groggy and vocal. She licked at water but not gulp it down like before. I decided to syringe feed her some canned pumpkin to get things moving, pepcid to help her tummy and a small amount of cat food and she kept it all down but no pooping. Vet called this morning to check on Pooka and said she is unsteady, groggy and vocal because she is weak from not eating. He said she was not a good candidate for an edema because the poop is not hard. He suggest I try Metamucil and to syringe feed her some more Hill's Prescription Diet a/d Canine/Feline and he is going to call back later today to check on her.
What is wrong with my Pooka? I cannot seem to put a hand on what is going on with her. She has had a lost of appetite before when she was constipated or has eaten plastic but nothing to this extreme. She is not acting like she in pain but she does seem to be uncomfortable. She is sleeping now. I am so worried.
***EDIT: this morning while writing this post she peed outside the litter box. She was sitting in the litter box but she missed the litter box.I don't think I put the top of the litter box on right so that could be the reason. IDK******
What do you guys think? Any suggestions?
