Sabrina is vomiting white foam! **update Fri. 10/23/08**

Sabrina update:

She pooped sometime overnight and it was soft so definately can't be another megacolon cat, however everytime we make some progress she has something else go wrong.

Sometime last night she also vomited up all the food I had given her in the evening, as well as a small hairball. *sigh* She's not eating on her own again/still, so all day I've had to force feed her. I came home this evening and found two small spots of the white foam vomit she had left on the carpet.

Now for the BAD NEWS????

Sassy has started vomiting white foam!!!

I'm going to get both of them into the vet tomorrow. Either it's got to be the food, something they both got into, or something contagious. I'm really hoping I didn't bring something home from work and give it to my babies. We have had alot of sick cats at work lately, but none of them were vomiting white foam though.

I'm guessing that they're going to need some kind of medication. The wait and see approach just isn't cutting it this time.

I just hope none of the other cats start getting sick too. I can't possibly have time to force feed 7 cats all day!

PLEASE keep my kitties in your prayers. They could really use your PT collective get well wishes.

oh NO. I hope the culprit is found...and that it might be a very treatable "kitty flu".

HUGS and PT Prayers for you and the furbabies!

Well now, just when things were looking brighter. Ok, prayers going out your way right this second......

What brand of dry and wet food do you feed your cats?

What brand of dry and wet food do you feed your cats?

That's what I was wondering too. I'd be suspecting the food. With all the contamination problems last year and the reported problems with Nutro this year you just never know.

I sure hope it's nothing serious. Prayers and positive thoughts on the way.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope that you'll be able to find out what's causing this and that it can be easily treated. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

I don't have alot of time to update, as it is I'm supposed to be doing something else then head to bed. But I wanted to update you guys on my two torties.

After Sassy turning down food last night and this morning as well as breathing fast and growling at everyone including hubby (who she loves) I was in a panic. Add to that Sabrina turning down breakfast and doing the vomiting again.

Anyways poor Sassy had a temp of over 104!! Sabrina's was only slightly above normal. The consenses was that they have a virus they're passing around. They spent the day at work with me today and got injections of cortisone and antibiotics, and already they're eating better, and keeping the food down for the last two feedings.

I'm just trying to keep the peace because I let both of them out of confinement and the trio of sibs aren't getting along at the moment. I'm hoping they'll be ok to leave out overnight, otherwise I'll have to shut a couple of them in again for a while longer.

I was also told to keep a watch on everyone else. If anyone else starts to get sick I can just pick up the medication if anyone needs it.

Hopefully this will be the last of it and everyone will go back to being healthy and getting along.

Thank you guys again for the PT prayers. My kittes and I very much appreciate all of you.

*PS I'll try to get a chance online tomorrow night and post those pix of Sabrina I took and maybe get a few of Sassy for you.

Here's hoping that you and the furkids have been through the worst of it now and that things will be back to normal soon.
