Laurie,

I'm so sorry Max is not feeling well. I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

Laurie,

I went through this just a few months ago with Foxy...15 years old, and doing fine now. Like humans, the vomiting can cause dehydration.

Hang in there, and you both have my prayers.

Sending good thoughts for Max's excellent outcome.

I'm saying prayers for Max. I belive God hears all prayers, not just those for humans.

Good thoughts going out for Max.

Thinking good thoughts for Max.

has he been eating, drinking his water? my one kitty has but has had an awful time with fur balls this summer...i think it never got hot enough for him to shed like he normally does...btw has he "misbehaved" not using the cat box?

I hope Max will be OK, Laurie. How worrisome for you. I'll cross my fingers for you both.

Sending lots of good wishes for Max!!
Keep us posted please!

Positive thoughts going out for Max.

The same thing happened with our cat, now almost 13 years old. After blood tests and x-rays, the vet found no cause for his being ill. They pumped him up with a steroid injection and fluid injections on 2 different visits (you could feel a slight hump in his back, kind of like a camel).

He wouldn't eat so I tempted him with his favorite thing in the whole world - and yes, I got the vet's OK - he loves Sam's Club 90% lean ground chuck, uncooked (raw). Yes, you read that right, it must be from Sam's Club because he can tell the difference.

That was 6 weeks ago and now he is right as rain. I hope your Max will recover too, keep the faith.

I'm sending healing and warm thoughts to you and Max. I sure hope he's on the road to feeling like his old frisky self soon ;o)

Good thoughts coming Max's way!

If he is vomitting, losing weight but responds to steroids, ask your vet about the possibility of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Hope everything goes OK with the ultrasound.

Same thing happened with my Rex, They did the ultrasound, and they were pretty positive that he had liver cancer, with 3-4 months to live. Here we are a year later, and he is doing great.
Don't lose hope.... and I will keep Max in my prayers.

BTW>>>did they check his thyroid??

Thank you for all of your good thoughts. Max is scheduled for an ultrasound tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon. He has had blood work done checking for diabetes, thyroid and elevated counts. Everything has come back normal. He is still using his litter box, although not often, because he has not eaten much. He drinks and is urinating fine. He has had half of his thyroid removed a couple of years ago.
I hope all goes well tomorrow.
Thanks again
