I just got back from rushing Nutmeg to the vet. I was just finishing my dinner and I heard a cat throwing up. I assumed it was Tilly (she often has hairballs) but saw that it was Nutmeg, which is VERY unusual. She vomited about 5 times. I cleaned it up and while doing so could smell a really foul odor; I checked the litter box and there was a pile of very soft, mucousy, bloody stool. I checked it more carefully to see if the blood appeared just on the outside, but it was quite dark in colour and was throughout the stool, and the odor was overpoweringly stinky. I called the vet immediately and took her in, where they are doing bloodwork, xrays, and keeping her for at least one night of IV fluids and observation.
Please pray for Nutmeg. I can't handle another illness, and I go away on Friday for Christmas. Plus, I'm broke. This is going to cost me $1000 and I have no money and no credit cards - I'm trying to pay off my debt, not add to it. I will find a way to pay for it but please keep my Nutmeg and this situation in your prayers.
Thanks.
