Did you ask your vet about dex shots? If he is ready to give up on Kisa
and you are not, find yourself another vet.

Thank you all for your suggestions.
I went to the vet today and got some injectable chloropromazine. They
said it should help with the vomiting, though it is also a sedative.
Kisa still vomited this evening, about 3 hours after a syringe
feeding, but hopefully they drug just needs more time to work.
The vet got back some blood test results, and says that it looks like
cancer. They can't know for sure without a biopsy, but they don't
suggest doing that.
So really i'm left with not really knowing for sure what is going on.
They won't do chemo without a definite diagnosis for cancer. I'm not
sure if I could afford that anyway...they didn't say exactly how much
it would cost, but said it wouldn't be a good idea to spend thousands
on FeLV+ cat with a poor prognosis.
Kisa is absolutely hating the syringe feedings. She's all of 6-7
pounds and it takes both my husband and I to hold her. For a weak
kitty she sure can put up a fight. By the time we're done, she's got
food all over herself, and us.
I don't think she's going blind, because she takes off like a shot
after the feeding.
We allow her into our bedroom at night now...our bedroom is reserved
for sick kitties only. She really seemed to enjoy that, and even
crawled under the covers and curled up to me purring. I haven't seen
her that happy in awhile. But this mornign at 5:30 am, I woke up to a
huge puddle of orange pee (filled with Bilirubin) right between us.
She didn't even try to use the litter box or even squat to pee.
Well we were up after that trying to wash some of the bedding before
going to work.
It sure has been a long haul here, I can only hope somehow it will
work out.
