it wasn't alot but it was alarming, to say the least
yesterday I noticed he was like, gagging. I thought he was just trying to pass a furball but then this happened I did the number 1 error and looked at Google. I mean, even logic suggests this but you don't just fucking spit up blood for no reason. Theres something wrong here. Tumor, heartworms, Cancer, blockage are the most common things I saw I'm genuinely upset. I can't help but think about his mother, who died earlier this year. She was throwing up vile brown stuff, and I believe I recall reading its possible that was blood too when something happens, you have to come to terms its possible they might not make it or I can't even afford to get help for him. I just hope he ate some string or something, thats the best case scenario nothing is open right now, I'll have to call tomorrow morning. Shit like this always happens on the weekend I opened up some wet food and he didn't want any. Thats how I know something is very wrong with him. He usually jumps up onto the counter when he hearts the can open. Its breaking my heart I put my hand out to him and he rest his head on my hand and fell asleep. His breathing seems off. But I at least can comfort him to some degree --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Even as a layman I can be pretty sure there exists less serious causes than the ones that float to the top of Google.
The fact that you can comfort him and he can fall asleep semi-normally (as opposed to passing out) is definitely a good thing. Just try to stay calm and get him in as soon as you can tomorrow. I don't think I told you anything you don't know, but hopefully hearing it from someone else is helpful. --- "One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land." -Toad, SMB3 ...

One of my cats puked blood twice in their life: Once when they tore into a bag of cat food and accidentally ate some of the foily packaging, and then another time the week before they died. The latter was when they were very old though.

what did you do when the former happened?Nothing. It seemed obvious what the cause was, as I could see pieces of the bag all around near the blood. They didn't have any issues afterward and that was many years before the death, so it was fine. The cat also didn't show any other symptoms. During the latter, the cat was clearly very old and had a multitude of problems. It was obvious it was near the end. If this came on sudden and you see other symptoms, it could definitely be worth taking to a vet. --- Draven 2013 Undertale 2015 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah I thought my fairly young cat was dying because he became lethargic and nearly stopped eating for a few days.
I take him to the vet and they have nothing to really say except he must have ate something bad, gave him some medicine, and he's back to normal. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

His breathing is not good
I want to stay hopeful but I feel like thats the reason I can't think its nothing. I think theres an issue with his lungs its not rhythmic like purring. Its coarse. I can even feel it when I have my hand on him but on the bright side, as you said, hes currently resting in my bed. a few of his siblings are with him. at least hes not in such pain that he can't relax --- ...

I served the cats food and he didn't go. He moved to the bathroom rug at some point last night. He's still not well. I sort of had to pick him up to get his attention. But he stood for a bit before lying back down. At the very least he didn't collapse, ya know
I called the vet and they can get me at 230. They said it's too vague to tell over the phone. They said it's 200 for the vet and tests to start --- pUnny at his phone. Expect tYpos ... Copied to Clipboard!

They called me and said I could drop him off while we wait for the appointment but they started working on him right away
They kept asking if he could've eaten any poison They noticed bruising around his neck and some wounds. and it's not punctured either I'm starting to think his kidneys are failing --- pUnny at his phone. Expect tYpos ... Copied to Clipboard!

My cat has thrown up blood twice, and both times it was roundworms.
Cats are really difficult in that if they get even a little sick they stop eating completely, which kills them very fast. I hope your kitty pulls through. --- "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Smash Ultimate Switch Code: SW-6933-1523-8505 ... Copied to Clipboard!

They are still suggesting rat poison but also possibly anemic/ autoimmune disorder
Those are two very different things A blood transfusion might be needed --- pUnny at his phone. Expect tYpos ... Copied to Clipboard!

Heroic Bigpun 08/24/20 11:42:09 AM #17: |
They confirmed it is not his kidneys. His liver is also fine. I asked about roundworms or heartworms and they said it more than likely isn't that. Something is causing his blood to be really low and it's causing bruising. I think they are actually narrowing it down

Heroic Bigpun 08/24/20 11:46:14 AM #18: |
They said it takes about two weeks for him to form new blood and his red blood cell count is just really low right now. Blood transfusion probably needs to be done. But the problem is the facility is in San Antonio. They didn't tell me that at first. I haven't travelled a single time since covid got into full swing.
And the fact that i have to travel period. I have work today And This is all gonna cost 1k I wish i was rich --- pUnny at his phone. Expect tYpos ... Copied to Clipboard!

It cannot possibly be poison despite that's what they think
I just don't have any. And they specifically say rat poison. Insecticide reacts differently I think this poor guy is anemic Just like my ex >_> Luckily dealing with her made me knowledgeable of this though --- pUnny at his phone. Expect tYpos ... Copied to Clipboard!

Heroic Bigpun 08/24/20 12:00:23 PM #20: |
I really thought it was his kidneys. I thought he probably drink some chemicals or something and they started failing him. You have no idea how relieved I am about that. I was so distraught. But unfortunately it's not over yet

My cat wasnt soiling himself constantly. That's what happened to my other two cats I lost. That's what's making me optimistic
I should also mention I took him to a different vet. I lost my other cats with another one and they didn't know what was wrong with them at all. Fuck them --- pUnny at his phone. Expect tYpos ... Copied to Clipboard!

how'd you lose the other cats?Well, as I said, the previous vet didn't know what they were doing So basically IDK Bastards They stopped eating, Started vomiting , started losing weight and started soiling themselves until they died I even reached out to b8 for one last desperate reach and the b8ers that deal with animals were also like iunno --- pUnny at his phone.

Sorry Pun. My puppy got super sick last weekend, vomiting everywhere and pooping blood. Even w me working in medicine, it's different when it's your own and a different species. Had no idea what to do and freaked out. My dad drove 6 hours to stay w me to help me out. Sick pets are the absolute worst thing to deal with bc they can't tell you what's wrong. Best of luck man. My pup pulled through and I pray your cat does too.

I think about things people normally wouldn't
I just think about how he must be scared, and hes all alone right now. He doesn't know why hes not home or I'm not around He doesn't know hes sick. He doesn't know why he feels bad Its probably not healthy to think like this, but its what wanders into my mind, its why I'm torn up. i'm more..Sad FOR him lol I'm weird, thats how I am with everything --- ...

I think about things people normally wouldn't Totally normal. When Rocky was sick I'd stay up almost all night. Just in case he whimpered or gave me any clue he needed to go outside. I can't imagine how hard it is not having your cat right now. I would definitely be going down the same train of thought. You care for him. A lot. That is normal, not weird at all. --- ...

I've just been crying all morning. I feel like I need to get over there as soon as I can. I don't want him to die in some cold sterile place without me. I'm not even sure if I can afford it but I'm thinking about just having them inject him just to end it.
