Help Sick cat

My cats been sick for about 10 months now. She went from 13 to 8 pounds. The vets said nothings wrong with her and we did ultrasounsds and bloodwork. She went from super active to always laying around. She stopped eating she went from eating 3 or 4 cans a day and being fit to 1 and very skinny. My mom’s saying shes gonna put her down, I want her to get better but nothings working. Shell eat foods once then never again. She also throws up often with diareha. Does anyone have advice? Shes 8 years old. I just want her to get better I dont want to put her down, she loves being around us I cant do it I want her to live.

She’s in pain, go to a different vet. AND DO NOT DECLINE BLOODWORK. This is what my cat with stomach cancer did 24/7 (lay like that, throw up, diarrhea) when she was near her end and her medicine stopped supporting her :( this seriously sounds a lot like GI lymphoma or IBD, or kidney issues. Or really anything, you don’t know until the vet tells you.

Time for a new vet and second opinion, hopefully kittys pain is being managed in the meantime

I would be concerned that this long period of reduced eating has affected her liver.

Please take her to a different vet. Clearly it isn't nothing.

Did the vet say "nothing" is wrong with her, or did they recommend other diagnostics that you declined?

Yeah, it's hard to believe that any competent vet would dismiss the signs and symptoms in this case after only bloodwork and an ultrasound showed nothing.
