[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all of the posts, we have a lot to think about. I'm hesitant to try an approach that requires daily  medication because when we have had to give her medication in the past, it's been a nightmare. I'm just not sure that putting her through daily injections or pills would really make for an overall quality of life improvement for her.

I may have been exaggerating when I said she vomits all over the house, although I guess it is true on some days. It seems to be daily or nearly daily lately, where she will vomit either a hairball (normal, but not daily), or actual stomach contents. So it will be either 0, 1, 2, 3 times a day. Our vet once said that vomiting a couple of times a week is within the realm of normal, but more than that is not.

There is not always blood in the vomit and stools, but often. And definitely recently, there were a couple of times with pools of blood (previously there had occasionally been blood in the stool, but never a pool...and never in the vomit). So progression for the worse.

But then, yesterday she stole one of my hair ties, her favorite toy, to play with, so I wonder if maybe she is doing okay.

It's so hard to figure out.[/quote]
