Tuesday I took Josh to the vet because he wasn't acting right and didn't want to eat and was throwing up and had diarrhea. Josh is my oldest cat now around 14 going on 15. he is one of my diabetics( not on insulin at the moment) and was recently diagnosed with an enlarged heart. I was worried that it was his heart so I took him on Tuesday. The vet said his heart sounded ok that it probably was inflammatory bowel and gave him a shot and sent me home with meds. Weell i hadn't seen him eat at all or drink( except a little drink this am) and he was still thrwoing up and had the liquid poop so I took him back and knew they would admit him for tests which they did. Now I am waiting to hear fromt he vet. Today is her surgery day so I have no idea when i will hear from her and I am so worried about him. Please send him psotive healing thoughts and pray that he gets better.

I Think That All Of Us With Senior Kitty Zens Knows That Terrible Feeling When We Notice That Somethings Wrong With Our Older Cats.
Is It Something We Can Fix. Or Maybe The Beginning Of The End.
We Are Praying So Very Hard That Josh Can Be Helped By Your Vet And That You Will Have Your Dear Friend For Years To Come.

Jack & Sunny are sending positive thoughts and dreams and loads of happy feet to Josh while he's in hospital. I will pray he gets better and that it's nothing serious.

Please let us know as soon as you hear anything from your vet. We'll all be waiting for an update on Josh, and hoping everything turns out well.

That's a lovely photo of him peeking out from under the cloth, it really shows off his big eyes and pale pink nose.

What a sweetheart Josh is. :) I hope he'll be feeling better very soon! Hopefully the tests will show what's wrong and he can treated.

Give him some extra kisses from me, and headbumpies from Fister.

I talked to the vet this morning and she said that Josh is on fluids and that the blood work was normal and she did an xray that shows he has alot of gas . She thinks he is suffering from a bout of irritable bowel. he hasn't thrown up there but hasn't eaten either. She wants me to pick him up for the night and see if I can get him to eat anything at home. I will take him back in the morning. I will let you know how he does if i can get to a computer tomorrow. I am on Christmas break right now fromw work. Thanks so much for all your prayers, keep them coming. Josh and I appreciate each and everyone!

Oh Melissa, I am so sorry to read that your precious Josh is not feeling well.

I hope that he will eat something for you tonight and pray that he starts to feel better real soon.

When my Ebony had similar symptoms they put him on I/D (which, of course, he didn't like) and Pepcid. This worked well. Good luck with your baby.
