So my kitten that I got in August has been sick. The poor guy has thrown up bloody stuff and pooping some bloody stuff too. This happened the first time in January and I had him at the vet and they treated him and he got better. I brought him home January 18 and he has been really good up until February 11 and then he was back to the bloody vomit and poop again. He has been at the vet since then.

My poor little guy has had so much done to him at this point I feel so bad. He’s had so many pokes whether it’s to give him things like fluids and meds or take things like blood from him I bet the poor little guy feels like a pin cushion.

At this point, we are at a stand still with him. The vet just doesn’t know what his problem is because he has so many different symptoms which could be any of 20 things. They think it’s possible he has an ulcer or irritable bowel syndrome (didn’t know cats got those). He might have eaten something that is lodged in his tummy but they really don’t think that is the issue. It’s just a real stumper. They suggested doing an endoscopy to see if he has an ulcer but I would have to take him elsewhere for that and then we’re talking a minimum of $500 to do it and there is just no way I can afford that.

All I can really do at this point is hope he gets better with his round of antibiotics he’s having and the other meds they are giving him.

I have decided that if he gets better this time and then goes into this same thing again, I will put him down rather than putting him through more pin-cushion treatment and that is a really difficult thing to even think of doing because I love him so much but I know I have to do what’s best for him too.
