Oh my! I'm officially worried!

[Cookiebaker]

This morning at 5 AM Marigold woke me up with an upset tummy. I didn't think too much about it, since occasionally kitties have upset tummies. (logical, huh?)

When we came downstairs, we found that she had gotten sick 3 or 4 more times. Time to get a tad concerned.

I left for work around 8:00. Mid-day, Mark called me inform me that she was sick another 3 times. Now we both got home from work and she has been sick several more times. Full-blown worry time!

I have called the emergency vet, and am anxiously waiting for them to call me back. I'm so worried about my cuddle bug.

The good thing is that she isn't acting "sick", but rather coming around for cuddles & headbumpies.

I hope they call me back soooon......time is dragging so slow.

oh no. That's so scary. Is she trying to cough up hair balls or just bile? Could it just be something she ate?

My one big concern would be that she could get dehydrated.

good luck, I hope she's ok.

[Cookiebaker]

Thank you Catland....we're headed to the vet right now. It's an hour away.....

(I need a scaredy cat smiley)

Let us know ...

Fingers and paws crossed that little Marigold will be okay.

[Uabassoon]

Sending positive thoughts that Marigold is ok.

[shais_mom]

Prayers on the way!

Oh no, I hope everything is OK! Please get better soon Marigold

We're Back! And though there isn't any good news, there's no bad news either. He took X-rays of her stomach, and it seems that her stomach is full of unidentifiable fluff. He thinks possibly a rodent?? He has definitely ruled out blockage or poison which I was most afraid of. No food tonight, and Food + Laxative in the morning. Besides the X-ray, he gave her fluid under the skin as she was bordering on dehydration.

I'm so glad that we went. I felt bad for the vet in that he wasn't expecting to be "on-call" and his wife called looking for him. But I can sleep tonight knowing that this isn't anything very serious, and she will be on the mend soon.

Thank you so much for the well-wishes. Marigoldy sends tons of purrs & snuggles to each of you!!

Off to do MORE laundry: tablecloth in diningroom; tablecloth in kitchen; comforter cover from futon; comforter cover from bedroom; quilt from guest room; pillow cases from bedroom; towels from bottom of crate where she did a poop-de-doo.... But She's WORTH it!!

I hope Marigold is feeling better soon!

I thought you'd be doing something fun for your birthday and instead you have to do laundry!

All fingers and paw pads crossed here! Poor Marigold! Poor meowmie cat! It is so hard to see our little furkids like this. HOpe all will pass soon!

[sasvermont]

Oh no baby Marigold, what did you eat? For goodness sake, stick to the cat food next time, so Mom and Dad don't have to worry so much about you. Not to mention the money and the LAUNDRY!

Surely hope you are back to normal soon!

Love from Camp Vermont!

Poor Marigold! Hugs to her and I hope she feels better soon

What a scare! We went through something similar with Ripley last Oct. except his was bad news. He caught the URI from Jazz and spent two days at the vet on IV for fluids then the night we brought him home he began throwing up everywhere. By the time we got him back to the vet he was so weak. He ended up spending 6 more days at the vet and then I had to take him back daily for 4 more days for antibiotic injections. The vet thinks he had a blood infection that had been triggered by the URI. It was the worse 10 days we've had around here for a long time.

I'm glad Marigold isn't suffering from anything that serious. I'm sending well wishes from TN!!

This sure did not sound like a good birthday! But hopefully Marigold will be fine once everything clears out of her system.

What in heavens name did she eat? Oh, these guys do give us huge scares don't they?

Hey, and probably all of that stuff needed to be washed anyway (at least that is what I tell myself when Rascal has a barforama spell).
