She doesn't have a hairball...this has been going on and on and on despite our inquiries to the vet. Finally, we called the vet and said, "please treat the cat for the barfing" and we brought our other cat in (who has never barfed) for routine shots. So the vet treated our cat for barfing (and issued an itemized bill for everthing she did for both cats, which included the examination for the barfing). It wasn't enough to mention it in previous vists. We had to schedule an appointment specifcially for illness. So the vet says that it could be a number of things but thinks it's probably gall bladder and gives us a medication for the cat. We're not done with the medication but the cat has barfed twice since we got the medicine, which means that she hasn't improved AT ALL since she has barfed 1 - 2 times per week since we got her. So now, we have to bring the cat in for x-rays to make sure she hasn't swallowed yarn or something. I am pissed off at the Humane Society for putting a sick cat up for adoption. I love my cat, but this barf stuff irritates me. I love cats and I have had many and none of them have had this problem. It makes me think that someone else dumped her off at the Humane Society because they didn't want to deal with the barfing. And I thought I was being a good citizen by adopting from the Humane Society. :flare:
