We were so excited to retrieve one of our long-lost foster cats. He went missing 5 years ago and finally turned up. He is now 14 years old, and time has not been kind. He was once the fattest cat I ever knew, today he is about 1/3 of his original weight. Urine strips were positive for enormous amount of sugar and blood in the urine. Teeth are super elongated, although gums etc are not bad considering age. Coat is very dry and full of dandruff. Appears as though left ear is somewhat chronically inflammed. Prominant spine and pelvis, concave abdomin. Appetite is good (although he turned up his nose at cottage cheese and only wants canned food of which I am currently feeding of good quality and it is formulated for sensitive digestion), thirst is moderate (somewhat unexpected with the copious amounts of urine produced). Urine is somewhat turbid, of normal colour, with a slightly strong odor and he does not urinate often, but in large amounts, spec grav was slightly "off" towards being more dilute than normal.

I started him on sulph 30ch, but noticed within the 1st 24 hours that the cat was throwing up his food (partially digested, not bile) usually 15 minutes to 2 hours after eating and noticed some drool around his mouth (perhaps from the teeth, originally I did not note). After waiting another 24 hours, with no change I gave thuya.

Thuya had no effect other than to stimulate a bowel movement which was slightly coated with mucus, and after another 24 hours I gave phos 30ch which stopped the vomit for 24 hours, but then it returned again last night. I repeated the dose of phos (30ch) and again he has been good at keeping down his food. The drool still persists, but when you watch him eat it appears that his mouth (teeth) might be causing a few trouble, so I think the drool is more connected to this, rather than from any of the remedies

Looking for thoughts and/ or comments. I will be checking his BG later in the week (his ears have been frost bitten in the past, making it difficult to extract blood for testing in that way) and having him checked to confirm diagnosis.

Almost forgot, although I think its incidental. He has a very unique tumor, literally hanging off his front left leg. It is attached to a very small amount of skin on the leg. It is about the size of a golf ball, but elongated rather than cyndrical. Its quite firm, warm (receiving blood / circulation) and white -purplish-blue in colour. I have seen many growths, but nothing quite like this one and I'm rather anxious to see what the vet will say about it. I don't think it will be a problem, other than to possibly be a hindrence to the cat's movement (floppy ball, dangling off the leg, like a shackle).

Why not try posting this over at Hpathy on the animals board? I am sure that Wim could help you with this. He has had plenty of experience with animals.

I need to get the vomit under control. This morning he would eat raw food for me, I'm hoping it may just be a problem of digestibility. He had a normal stool yesterday. The urine is still pretty much the same. I did also take a look at merc yesterday, however I'm tempted to try another dose of phos at 200ch potency. I am hard pressed to find a remedy that includes most of his symptoms.

Naturalhealth,

Are you promoting other board here? Do you think that this board in incapable of replying it?

I'm not sure it should be a problem to recommend someone specifically on the board (even if they don't routinely post here). Still, I believe I have the case under control. I started kitty on phos LM1 and it seems to have stopped the vomitting. Now, he's drooling everywhere, but yesterday I noticed ulceration on his lip from his teeth so I'm treating that now.
