Cat (10 F) isn't eating and has had diareah and vomiting for over 2 weeks, our vet is stumped.

I'm so sorry to hear that your kitty is going through this. It must be quite stressful for both of you. There can be several reasons why she might have diarrhea and vomiting, especially when it's been going on for over two weeks. Common causes include gastrointestinal infections, food allergies, or an upset stomach due to dietary changes. Sometimes, more serious issues like pancreatitis, liver disease, or even ingestion of something toxic can also be the culprits.

Since your vet is stumped, it might be helpful to consider other factors such as any new foods she's tried or household plants she might have nibbled on. Make sure she stays hydrated, as dehydration is a big risk with diarrhea and vomiting. You might offer small amounts of plain boiled chicken or white rice temporarily, which can be gentle on her stomach.

Keep a close eye on any changes in her behavior. Watch for signs of dehydration, like lethargy, dry gums, or decreased skin elasticity. If she appears more sluggish than usual, is hiding a lot, or you notice blood in her vomit or stool, these are signs to seek further vet attention immediately.

Let's ensure your kitty gets the relief she deserves. Why not book a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet specialists? They can provide more tailored advice and might catch something new.
