Sometimes, things just suck.

I am pretty sad right now. My cat is dying and I can't do anything about it. Unless I come up with another $800. And even then, there's no promise that he'll get better.

Just over a month ago I took him in for his shots and a checkup. Everything was good. A few weeks after that he started peeing all over the house. I took him in again and he had an infection. Several anti-biotics later he was fine. Everything checked out. Then a few days after that, he started throwing up. Not a lot, but enough to be concerned. Then he REALLY started throwing up. He kept me up throwing up 7 times in one night.

I took him to the vet. X-rays, IV's urine tests, blood tests, anti-nausea drugs, barium x-rays, anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, and an ultra-sound (and $700) and there's nothing wrong, except that he won't stop puking and he can't keep food down.

This is so frustrating. The next step is exploratory surgery, which I can't afford, so he can't get it. I hate being here. He's a really good boy and I am really sad. There's nothing I can do except put him down. I'll give it a few more days, but this doesn't look good.

Poor kitty.

PS - in case I didn't mention it - I'm not in the mood for advice or opinions.
