Q: Less than a year ago, my fabulous husband of 51 years died. Now, my adored cat is having diarrhea and throwing up. Naturally, I’ve taken her to the vet. Each time, she gets better for a while, then the problems start all over again. She’s had a biopsy of her bowels and liver, ultrasounds and blood work. I have given her various antibiotics, amitriptyline and prednisone, and she’s on a prescription diet. I honestly can’t afford any more treatments. I’m so sad and depressed.
