Unexpected Vet Bills Hit When Pets Show Vague Symptoms

“Hi, my cats info is male, shorthair, fixed, ~10 yrs. We had two cats but lost the older one about six months ago. He seemed more confident around the house after grieving for a few weeks, but shortly after that stopped eating and when he did eat he threw up. Brought him to the vet and he had pancreatitis. Put him on science diet ID food and it went away, but he still wouldn’t eat. Back to the vet two weeks later, his teeth are good, bloodwork is good, asthma is under control. He’s been on predni”

“I found this starved little flame point siamese, and of course adopted him. He's been a medical trainwreck. Shortly after we got him, we vaccinated him, and he went into hemolytic anemia. So, he's constantly under a vet's care at this point. He is on prednisolone. He has the most sensitive skin of any cat I have ever had. We had to learn to pill him without scruffing him because scruffing him caused the hair on his neck to fall out! Now, he has these sores on the back of his hocks th”

“The veterinarian hasn't inserted a feeding tube for my cat, who has been suffering from this illness for five days. It has no appetite and isn't eating at all; it is only receiving 40 pieces of dry food—fed by force—along with vitamins, liver support medication, painkillers, and anti-nausea medication. It receives fluids throughout the day. Will they definitely die if a feeding tube isn't inserted? • ⁠Species: Cat • ⁠Age: 8 • ⁠Sex/Neuter status: Female, neutered • ⁠Breed: tabby cat •”

“Hi everyone, I took my cat to emergency today because she has not been eating/lethargic. They did a full work up on her and she tested positive for heart worm. They don’t think the fever is associated with heartworm. They gave her antibiotics to reduce fever and hopefully get her eating again. She’s 4 years old. She’s my whole world. Does anyone have experience with this? Googling is breaking my heart. I’m going to take her to a regular vet to be re tested to be sure. Any experience/advice is ap”

“Hi! Usually i wouldnt post about this kind of thing but im stumped and losing hope. Forgive formatting issues and typos- im quite upset. I have a domestic short hair kitty, shes about 1.25 years old, shes spayed. She weighs 8.4 pounds last time they checked. Shes on the smaller side, we think she may have been a runt but weve also heard that her whole litter runs small. Last sunday she started throwing up yellow liquid. We took her to the emergency vet, they gave her an xray and some nausea medi”

“My 13-year-old female cat, has had ongoing appetite/GI problems for 5 months. The problems initially started with gastrointestinal symptoms i.e. throwing up and slight shivering and no appetite. Her SAA levels were first normal but then increased up to 129 mg/L during 1-2 weeks. After some weeks she was treated for inflammation with steroids (they suspected IBD - no biopsy performed). Prednisolone didn’t help much so we started methylprednisolone which seemed to help. At no point did the steroid”

“I have a 2 yr old female cat, adopted 3 months ago. She had a big, firm belly from day one. I took her into the vet for a check up where they did bloods and an ultrasound. They found some mild dehydration and the ultrasound was insignificant but the vet noted her stomach was really big, but that she may have had a massive meal. She recommended an xray but that it would need to be the following day. The next day when I went in and a different vet was on duty. She said no to the xray and said that”

“Female, Not sterile, 6yr old, 6lb, Pom-Yorkie Mix No prior health, weight or diet issues. Started rejecting food and water and I attributed it to something having scratched her throat. Took her in to the Vet. They did all the test: bloodwork, local ultrasound, urine, physical exam, x-ray and now full special ultrasound -- and all are normal. There was some gas showing and some swelling in the neck lymph nodes. Cause she wasn't eating they kept her in the hospital on IV with fluids and was ab”

“My bestest boy was recently diagnosed with cancer that has metastasized, so surgery isn't an option. I've got an upcoming appointment with an oncologist for other solutions which will likely be chemo.

“Hello, for context I’m in The Netherlands. I have a 7 year old short hair European tortoiseshell cat. I took her to the vet yesterday for a blood draw because I was concerned she might have internal issues due to her frequent (2-3x/week) vomiting that does not produce hairballs. After speaking w the vet I realize this was probably not the issue and it is likely diet related. Note: that is not the issue I’m here to discuss. We went ahead with the blood draw, which required sedating my cat. She ha”

“Hello! Recently my 12 year old cat (not sure the breed I think just a domestic short hair) has has phases of losing hair around the neck and growing it back then loosing it again? He gets scabs too and I’m not sure if it’s him and his brother playing to roughly, I don’t notice them playing to roughly they do play a lot but I am gone most of the day, or if this should be something to be concerned about. He acts completely normal when this happens and eats and using the bathroom like normal. It’s”

“My cat, Olive, has always been on the thinner side and had a ravenous appetite, eating her fair share of inedible human food in her time with us. however, she recently got into a chocolate cake (very bad i know) and got herself very sick. she’s barely eaten since then, we finally got her to eating Meat Slop, which is boiled chicken, churu, and wet cat food blended with water into a puree she will eat more than anything else. We took her to the vet and were waiting for blood test results which wi”

“I have a 12 year old cat that has been having health issues suddenly with rapid weight loss. We took him to the vet to figure out what is going on and his bloodwork reveals the need for an urgent ultrasound on his abdomen, as it's suspected that he is having a gallbladder problem. The issue is, my husband is out of work and we're really struggling to pay for ordinary expenses as it is + we have children. The initial vet visit with blood work was $300 and the estimate now for the ultrasou”

“Hello! I have a 6.5 year old female shorthair cat. She is spayed and weighs about 12 pounds. Located in Indiana. No past medical issues. Since Sunday the 13th, we have been having issues with vomiting. She went to the vet on the 15th who did blood work but said she was fine, nothing notable. Took her back the 16th after she was kind of hiding from us and did X-rays where they said she was constipated. Gave her nausea meds, fluids, and an enema. For a few days, all was well.

“I’m concerned there may be more we can do for him and we’re not hearing about it, or the vets have decided it’s not worth further investigation for some reason. **blood test results at bottom of post His health history - he’s anywhere between 14-17, we’re unsure of age at time of getting him. - Has a history of urinary crystals for which he had a catheter and than we managed it fine with wet urinary prescription food. - recently discovered an odd mass near his heart but not in it, went to specia”

“I am writing to ask for your advice about my cat’s recent loss of appetite and drastic decrease in food intake. My female cat is over 9 years old, and has been indoor since we got her at one year. She is on the smaller side where the vet says the ideal weight is 8-9 lbs. She has mostly been healthy except for a bout of sickness years ago due to urinary crystals. Because of that, we switched her dry food to Royal Canin C/D along with Fancy Feast paté for wet food. She has been eating them for yea”

“Before anything, I have an appointment for next week, just wanting advice on things I should ask for before going into the visit to avoid having to go multiple times. I'm switching vets as I've moved and my previous vet I felt wasn't caring as much as I wanted and was sort of just blowing it off as age in and maybe it is but here we are. My cat is 11 years old. He is HYPO and takes 0.2mg levothyroxine once a day. He's been diagnosed since a kitten and I found him when he was 3 we”

“I am feeling such despair about what is going on with my cat, Eliot who is 12. This started in mid-July. I took him to the vet because he wasn't eating at all. Turns out he was very constipated. He received an enema, and was put on lactulose and a diet change to Royal Canin Fiber Response prescription food (a little bit of dry kibble) and Tiki Cat + Science Hills wet food twice a day (he rejected Royal Canin Fiber Response wet food... he's a picky guy!).

Her B12 was also low a few days prior at 188. She didn’t eat much at the hospital but they said she wasn’t straining anymore. During hospitalization, they did biopsy for IBD vs SCL.

Most recently, she was vomiting 12 times within one hour and we rushed her to the ER. After doing an x-ray, the vets suspected a partial abdominal obstruction, but after blood work, and an abdominal ultrasound, the vets found no obstruction b”

“SHORT: Female cat too fat, need to pick new food but completely overwhelmed/confused. So I have two cats, one being 3 year old female. Today I went to the vet and she told me (ofcourse I was already aware) my cat was overweight and advised me to feed light / weightloss food. These years I have been feeding both cats Purina Pro Plan, and then just picked whatever line was in discount to keep it affordable for me as I am alone and try to build some savings and at the same time make healthy choices”

“My 15 year old indoor cat with no previous health issues started with a persistent low appetite on Friday and vomited twice on Saturday. She saw a vet first thing Monday morning and they found that she isn’t dehydrated and didn’t have a high temp. She’s still very bright and acting herself. The vet examined her undersection by hand couldn’t feel anything obviously wrong so she was given an injection of anti sickness meds and sent home. Vet thought she had a stomach bug and said the meds should k”

“My 6 year old cat Midnight hasn’t been himself for two days now. I took him to the vet this morning as his breathing seemed off. And he is barely eating or drinking. The vet did an X-ray and found a mediastinal mass. He gave him a steroid injection. I don’t even know what I’m looking at on these X-rays I’m exhausted from crying all day as I rescued this beautiful boy only at the start of this year and he has shown and given me soo much love that I’ve been missing in my life 😭 I don’t know what”

“Hi all, I took my kitty, 6 yrs old, to the emergency vet after noticing lethargy and lack of appetite for 1-2 days. They ran some blood work and did an ultrasound and theorized that he likely has a respiratory infection/pneumonia due to the presence of some liquid in his lungs. I was given some Clavamox in liquid form and Mirtazapine (appetite stimulant.) It’s been 48 hours since we took him to the vet, and he’s had about 4 1ml doses of the Clavamox. He’s still lethargic but had been eaten a lit”

“I've just taken my 16 year old DSH cat to have an abdominal ultrasound, the results of this were a mass in her abdomen, the vet said it was difficult to tell where exactly the mass was. She said it was very difficult to see the stomach properly on the ultrasound, but that there was no thickening of the intestinal wall. The cat's blood work is all excellent and she is acting very healthy and happy, apart from vomiting liquid three to four times in an average week, almost always at night.”

“Does anyone’s cat have these bald patches? we noticed her hair starting to thin in random spots about a year ago… started in her joints on her legs and now it’s spreading to other spots. I can’t tell if it’s stress related. We got her as a feral kitten at 3 months (5yo now) with her sister and she’s been skittish since. We got a new kitten 6 months ago and she’s not a huge fan so I wonder if it’s because of him. He is completely fearless and chases her around the house sometimes but she doesn’t”

“Both my cats have been having some symptoms pop up the past few days and I’m wracking my brain trying to figure it out. (I just called the vet to see if they have an opening to check it out, of course this starts a week before I am leaving town) Both cats have normal over all behavior. Symptoms have shown up simultaneously which may be related may not be? One cat (6years old): Vomiting once a day for the past 3 days. Pretty healthy cat, her main thing is some recent tooth issues and intolerance”

“Hi all - thanks everyone for the advice yesterday, it was very helpful. Here is an update: Looking for some advice on next steps. Summary: My cat has now had 2 vet visits, bloodwork (CBC/Chem/electrolytes), pancreatic testing, X-rays, urinalysis, fluids, anti-nausea meds, appetite stimulant, and gabapentin. So far we've spent about $1,500 and haven't gotten a clear answer. The original issue was about 24 hours of vomiting bile and white foam. No obstruction was seen on X-ray. Bloodwork w”

He has episodes of excessive drooling and chattering/moving his jaw or teeth. He has also been losing weight and hasn’t been eating normally. I already took him to a vet. I had to use a different vet than our regular vet because my regular vet couldn’t get him in soon enough. They did blood work and told me that his tongue appeared swollen and that he could pos”

“I’m wondering what can cause low red blood cells and high white blood cells in cats? The vet said he’s experiencing this, he also has inflammation of an upper body organ and I’m trying to get an ultrasound next week on payday to figure out if it’s the pancreas, liver, or gallbladder. I picked up some antibiotics in case of secondary infection, he’s been on a steroid for 5 days now and just started Mirtazepine every second day to stimulate his appetite to get him to start eating food again He als”

“Hello, everyone. I'm so sad about my cat's situation right now. His name is Eter and he's such a lovely kitty. He's 5 years old and is suffering from recurring urinary issues. Starting September 5, he had a health scare where he cannot move anymore and only meows. We rushed him to the vet and got confined for 3 days. After that, he went home with me and spent the whole time with his catheter in and a cone. He was improving, he started eating less and ate more than that. However,”

“Hello! I am currently feeding a stray cat (long haired calico located in NorCal). I don’t know her exact age, but she’s been coming to my house for about 6 years. I might be being paranoid but today I noticed that she looked to be limping (I think on her back right paw) and stumbling a little bit when she lies down. However, when I tried to check, I saw nothing wrong with any of her legs. And when she trots/runs she is not limping. She is meowing a little more than usual, but eating perfectly fi”

“My 13 year old cat has lost a kg each year over the past 2 years. His bloodwork was normal and he was eating and drinking normally. I was told to just keep an eye on him for any changes in his eating habits. He currently weighs 6.01kg. In his most recent blood test his sdma was 40 so they scheduled him in for an urinalysis. The urinalysis was normal. He is eating and drinking normally but does seem a bit more lethargic and doesn't want to be picked up as often (he is usually quite cuddly). I”

“My cat (9y/o neutered male DSH, ~17lb) has a history of chronic pancreatitis and is on i/d prescription food. He’s gained weight since starting the food, but I attribute that to the fact that he was previously on metabolic. Three weeks ago I noticed a loose tuft of fur on his back, which I figured was normal shedding, and plucked it, only to find more loose tufts. This gave him a bald spot. He didn’t flinch at any of this as the hair was extremely lose. The next day I brushed him and the bald sp”

They did bloodwork and it showed elevated white blood cell count and low potassium. They gave fluids, anti-nausea meds, and sent”

“We’ve already spent over $8,000 on every test available for my cat, and the vets still can’t figure out why she’s had a low WBC for the past 9 months and now has mildly low platelets as well. She does have confirmed, asymptomatic Bartonella, which she apparently had when I adopted her from the pound, but the medications haven’t cleared it. She also has stage 2 kidney disease, which has actually been improving with her special KD diet. What’s frustrating is that there still isn’t an explanation.”

“Last vet email for confirmed weight was 3.8lb @ 17wks, last vet appt @4mo she was 4 point something, vet has always said she looks good, keep doing what I’m doing (aside from hernia, fixing w spay Oct 1st, & inflamed mammary gland but monitoring & not seeing change) Using RERx2.5 for 3.8lb, that’s 304kcal, & she def weighs more now I’ve been keeping food log since we got her (never restricting, just worried lol) & average daily since 8/1 is 167kcal:( Highest was 234 once, lowest”

“So, my cat Wilma(11/female tabby) has had this little bump the size of a marble on her neck for the past year and a half. Ive kept an eye on it whenever I’m petting her, and it hasn’t seemed to grow nor bother her— she doesn’t react when I touch it nor seem to be in pain, eats and drinks, pees and poops normally. There’s a tiny lil scab at the tip of the bump, but again it’s never changed. Yesterday I was giving her scratchies and I checked the bump, admittedly squeezed on it a bit as I usually”

“I have been to the vet twice and we still don’t know the root cause. To start from the beginning: Around 2 weeks ago Meatloaf (1 M/ fixed/ indoor) began yowling when picked up. We assumed it might be a strained muscle, gave him time to rest. It progressed, he would hiss and yowl in pain if you tried to pet him let alone pick him up. I made an appointment for that wednesday (it was monday at the time), when I got home from my anniversary he began yowling even when getting up. At this point he was”

“Hi everyone, I have an 11 year old cat. He’s always been healthy and happy, no issues, until the past year or so. My cats take over the upstairs while my dog takes over the downstairs, they don’t really get along, but it’s never been an issue. My cat’s food bowls have always been downstairs in a seperate room that my dog can’t get into. This was never an issue for the cats though. They’ve always eaten the same brand of dry food their entire lives and have always been good on drinking water as we”

“My cat (10mo) hasnt been eating very much the past two days. She’s never been super eager about food and is more of a grazer. She’s acting normal other than not really eating. I was thinking she’s bored of her food bc sometimes she can be picky, but ive offered her different types (pate vs shredded fillet / fish vs poultry) and she is just not feeling it. She’ll “bury” it and then ask meep at me for something else. I’ve noticed she really loves her kibble and will pick it out if i mix it with th”

“My 19 yo cat has in the last 2 months been diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism. Her only outward symptoms at diagnosis were losing weight (she's already tiny so became very bony) and scraggly fur. She was in what we thought perfect health otherwise. Quite active, always jumping high onto the worktop. No mobility issues. We started her on 15mg Vidalta daily. And she soon started putting on weight but also started becoming a zombie. She's eat and drink fine but didn't want to move, didn&#39”

“So the situation is, my cat (Ragdoll male, about 9 years old) has been eating weird for a few weeks/months. He looked at his bowl for a long time before starting, or sometimes he only ate 100g a day, and on others days he ate up to 500g. He has always been on the skinny side, never really gaining much weight no matter how much he ate. His highest was 4.3 kilos but now he is at 3.6 to 3.7 kilos. He lost that weight presumably from Christmas to now. I thought at first that he lost weight because w”

“Hello! I know no one can give a definitive answer, but looking for some opinions. I found a lump on my 10yr old cat scooby’s tail in May. It was looked at, and at the time it was round and wasn’t much concern. Unrelated I lost my other cat the same month, so I got a full blood test/old age panel on scooby at that time. when the lump became crusty in August, I brought her in to be tested. The first test showed inflammation, and atypical cells. I went ahead with a tail amputation, biopsy and xray”

“My cat decided a few days ago she didn't want to eat anymore, she still hasn't had a meal (I have tried different foods since then). She has an ulcer in the back of her mouth, I have already took her to the vets twice and they just gave her injections and also a blood test which came back clear. The only thing she will eat are these sachet paste treats and also still chasing flies to try and eat, is this just something I need to persevere for a couple more days until she decides she can”

“I rushed my 2 year old cat to the vet today. Because she usually rushes to me when I wake up. Not today. She was hiding under the bed. I tried to lure her with her favorite treats, nothing. So I lured her with breakfast. Nothing. I knew something was incredibly wrong. She was running away from me, and when I finally caught her, her belly was hard as a rock. I have to mention she was at the emergency vet like a month or two back because of blood cloth and trouble urinating. They even took samples”

“Title kind of says it all. My kitty (DSH, spayed female) turns 9 in three weeks. She began showing signs of illness at 8 weeks old and after months of chronic daily vomiting & not growing, she was diagnosed with IBD at 6 mos old, via biopsy. Since her condition manifested so young she is a very small cat. For most of her life she has weighed just 5 lbs. The most she has ever weighed in her life is 6.3 lbs, that was in 2025 during her best IBD year ever, she managed to stay at or above 6 lbs”

“About a week ago, my Persian kitty(Male, neutered fully vaccinated, 2yrs) started pooping in my bathtub. It had blood and mucus, so I thought eh stress colitis, we just brought home a new kitten so I’ll give him some probiotics and see if it clears up. Two days ago, it turned to liquid diarrhea, crying out in pain, and urinating out of the litter box. Fecal float was clear, but X-rays showed three large masses pushing his guts to one side of his body. The vet said it has the apparent density of”

“my cat scrap is only 4 years old. we originally took her to the vet because she had been drooling, had bad breath, and had redness/inflammation in her mouth. the vet found a mass underneath her tongue, closer to the midline/left side. he said that visually it looks consistent with pictures of oral SCC and told us he suspects cancer and it’s pretty certain that is is because it looks like SCC. we are absolutely heartbroken. vet took a sample and we are waiting for biopsy results, but i’m just alr”
