    (((((((Hugs))))))))) Kim I would call the vet first thing in the morning if he shows no improvement over night. Hopefully it's just the meds.

    Poor Pouncer. I'd also call the vet in the morning if he isn't showing any improvement. You may also just want to call them and ask them if vomiting is one of the side affects from these medications. I remember that when my furkids were on antibiotics and if I gave it to them on an empty stomach, then this would cause them to vomit. I hope he feels better soon.(((HUGS)))

    I wonder why the vet did not put Pouncer on a stomach acid controller, like famotidine(pepcid). Ralph gets 2.5mg(a 10mg cut into quarters) 15 minutes BEFORE he eats and that seems to help with the vomiting. See what your vet thinks. Be careful with the predisone, it has to be tapered slowly...Prayers for Pouncer(and you)!!

    Kim, I'm so sorry!!!! I know exactly what you're going through, I'm going through the same hell here right now.

    Like you, I'm worrying myself sick over this, I'm "trembling inside", just as if I had too many cups of coffee. And I'm close to tears all the time.

    I would call the vet, too. It breaks my heart to read that Pouncer is feeling so miserable, and I can see the same discomfort in Luna's face.

    (((HUGS)))

    This could be from medication. Bo had this reaction to an antibiotic and they had to switch it. She did much better then. Good luck.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers
