Thread: Poorly Maine Coon

Hi All

Just wanted to know if anyone has any idea what this could be? My 3 year old Maine Coon has been ill a few times over the past few months and today she is poorly again the last 2 times I took her to the vet and the following happened:

1st visit - suggested that she had a funny reaction to new food (tuna&mussels) was given anti nausea and was fine the next morning

2nd visit - 2 months on, admitted for IV treatment after being sick over 12hr period. Bloods came back fine, x-rays clear, scan clear, pancreatitis test showed abnormal but more in depth test was done which came back as normal. She was on IV with no improvement and not eating for 4 days, they fitted a feeding tube but she didn't improve. Suggested we take her home to see if she would eat, she eat fine the second she came back in the door and bounced back to normal 2 days later.

A few days ago she threw up a massive hair ball, was lethargic all afternoon then by the next morning was fine again. Today she has been sick a few times this morning, won't eat, is hiding away but is using her litter tray fine.

I'm really confused as to what is up , the only thing I can think is that she is having an allergic reaction to wet food? We have been trying to move her from dry to wet after out other MC died of CRF at age 4 a few weeks ago. Would a food allergy suddenly come on like this? She is also sneezing a lot but may be due to a new litter

Any ideas?

Thanks
