Why is my cat not eating or drinking?

My cat's name is Kitty and is 3 years old. We have nerf guns in our house and he likes to chew on them. One day, he started vomiting a lot of clear saliva. He had no energy and stopped eating. We took him to the vet and they said he was very dehydrated. They gave him food and water through a syringe. They said there seemed to be no blockage or anything. They had him there for about 3-4 days. He pooped put the hard part of the nerf bullet and seemed to be eating again. We brought him back home and he seemed fine. But it was hella expensive.

After a few weeks, he started throwing up again. He tried eating but just kept throwing up his food. Then he stopped eating and drinking all together. I can't bring him back to the vet again because it's too expensive. We were planning to give him away but we need to get him well first. He started drinking a little bit, and is sniffing the food and is still not eating( he also is not going poo or pee) I guess drinking is a good sign, but do you have any suggestions to help him get better?

Hello Megan...it sounds like "Kitty" has another blockage...or the first blockage was not completely cleared out.  Have you had Kitty for 3 years?  If so, you are his Family.  He is counting on you to help him.  Expensive or not, he is Suffering, and it is imperative you get him back to your vet asap.  He is not going to make it if you don't.  I'm sorry to be so blunt, but that is the truth.

I sent him to the vet and they gave him medicine to help him get his appetite up and another medicine to not throw up so he ate some food but then pooped out the food which is unusual. He has been in the vet for about 4 days.
