My little HT kitty is poorly 
I started her on the thyroid meds again to give it one more go - 1 tablet a day for 4 days. All seemed absolutely fine then on the evening of day 4 she had her tea and then a little later she started the lip licking signs she was going to be sick. She threw up what looked like a hairball and then went outside to eat grass. She then came back in a threw up again about 10 minutes later. She threw up a few more times - just saliva.
Later that night I was woken by her being sick again - just a bit of saliva. I got up and checked her and she was otherwise OK so I waited until morning she was still being sick and took her to the vet as early as I could get an appointment. The vet couldn't find anything particularly wrong, no temp, no lumps or swelling, heart OK etc. So he gave her an injection anti-emetic (Cerenia) and Duphacort - some sort of corticosteroid anti-inflammatory. She then felt better a couple of hours later and ate and drank then sat on my lap the rest of the evening.
This morning she was ill again - not sick but lip-licking and yowling like she wanted to be sick but couldn't. I took her to vet again and saw the other vet from the practice. Again could find nothing. Didn't recommend bloods at this stage. Gave her injection of Ranitidine and liquid anti-biotic Metronidazole. She is still not eating or drinking and she is sitting in the middle of the room face-planted as she is so tired but won't lie down properly.
Not sure what to do next - I just worry as cats seem to go downhill really quickly and she doesn't seem any better I also had her sister at the vets again at the weekend as she had another bout of cystitis and she is also going a bit funny - not sure if something else going on there aswell as seems to be "seeing things". She has another appointment tomorrow to follow that up so that will 4 visit to vets in 5 days!
