Sneakers is feeling better

[Catty1]

Can you call the emergency vet and ask about first aid in case this is insecticide poisoning?

All I can think of is water...and putting her in a room with the air filter going....

I hope she recovers soon!

Hopefully she just ate something that made her sick and that's what you're smelling. Does she seem tender at all if you push her stomach? If so, I would take her in ASAP. I will pray for her too tonight ...let us know.

Yes, she is very uncomfortable when I pick her up.
I just called my vet and they are on call tonight. I left my number and a detailed message. The outgoing recording says that they will call me back within the next 15 minutes.
I'm particularly worried because a few years ago Sneakers got deathly ill and the vets never could tell me what had happened to her. It started with vomitting and lethargy (just like this) and after a few days, I took her in to the vet when I got home from work on the third day and found her in a terrible state, realizing that this was not a hairball! By the time we got to the vet she was hypothermic and they had to put warmed fluids into her.
They ran every kind of test you can imagine, blood, urine, etc.. They kept her on fluids over night and the next day she was still doing terribly. They did xrays, and an ultrasound on her and thought they saw something in her bladder. They opened her up and did exploratory surgery and actually cut her bladder open and found absolutely nothing. They kept her on fluids and gave her an antibiotic drip, she was there for days and she finally started to get better. Thankfully, at the time, she was the one cat I had pet insurance for (I don't have this now) but PetCare refused to pay her almost 2,000 bill because the 3 vets that had worked on her couldn't diagnose what had happened and listed her condition as 'ideopathic Ileus'. One of the vets was really great and she talked with Petcare at length and somehow convinced them to pay my bill.
I'm scared this is happening to her again.
Or that her system may be fragile from what happened to her a few years ago and it might not take much to send her back into an illness like that.
The good news is that I have copies of all her records from those 4-5 days and it could be very useful for my new vet, especially if they are looking for a way to treat her, the name of the antibiotics are in her paperwork.
p.s. On a brighter note, Tiger ate his pill pockets again with his meds. I don't know if I'm being optomistic but he seems better.

Prayers for Sneakers and for Tiger.

Thanks.
The vet called back and said that if it is a case of poisoning from pesticide that it's too late to administer anything like charcoal and that the main thing she needs now is fluids. She told me to give her water by syringe into her mouth, just a bit at a time, every half hour or so. (about 20 mls before we go to bed). If she manages to keep it down then I'm supposed to offer some food tomorrow, either bland chicken or chicken baby food. If she does start throwing up, she wants me to bring her in and they will put her on fluids.
I'll post an update tomorrow.

I'm so sorry to hear about Sneakers. I sure hope that it's nothing serious and that she'll be able to keep fluids down and will be able to start eating on her own again. I'll keep her in my thoughts and prayers.

Poor Sneakers...I hope it is NOT pesticide...

I hope the water goes down ok...HUGS to you and to Sneakers!
