Luna is very sick: Threw up about 30 times! (update #167: someone threw up!)

[rg_girlca]

Prayers and positive vibes on the way for precious Luna that it isn't anything serious and that she feels better real soon.

My oldest son's cat went through this years ago and the vet said he had some kind of virus. He was put on medication and was back to himself within a few days. Being indoor only cats, the vet said that my son or his girlfriend could have brought it in if they were touching another cat with the virus.
That's why whenever I pet a cat from outside, I always go straight into the bathroom and wash my hands and then put on some hand sanitizer before I do anything else.

I'm praying that whatever is wrong with Luna, that it could easily be remedied with some medication.

{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} Kirsten as I know how worried you must be.

Hi Kirsten, I'm so sorry that Luna is feeling so terrible but it is encouraging that she has managed to keep down her food and hasn't thrown up for 24 hours. Prayers that she has turned the corner and will get better each day.
My cat Sneakers had a similar thing a few years ago. She vomitted everywhere for a day and I raced her into the vet. She was hypothermic at that point. They did every test under the sun (xrays, ultrasound, bloodwork, urinalysis) including exploratory surgery to look inside her bladder! They never did find out what it was but they put her on IV fluids and ran antibiotics through the iv lines for a few days and she just got better and better. We have no idea what happened and neither do the vets. That was 4 or 5 years ago and she is still in good health.
I'm praying that Luna is dealing with something similar that will pass. I wonder if she wouldn't do well with some antibiotics though if she doesn't get better in a few days.

I hope Luna is 100% very soon. Sounds like you are doing everything possible for her. What a great meowmie!

Sometimes people baffle me (well most of the time,truth be told!) Why would anyone tell someone to expect the worse when a furkid is ill? How does this help at all? I'm pretty sure they don't have a vets degree? No qualified vet would even guess what was wrong without examining the patient. Your "friend" should keep their two-bit opinions to themselves and be supportive and wishing you and Luna the best. Oi vey!

Alll fingers and paws crossed in California that this is just a passing icky.

Oh Kirsten, I'm just seeing this now and can't tell you how sorry I am to hear about Luna. Many prayers are being prayed that the problem isn't serious and your vet can get things cleared up and back to normal very soon. I'm sending Luna very gentle get well lovies

Poor Lily must be quite confused and a bit frightened with all that has happened in recent days. Could I ask you to give her some comforting lovies from me?

Many [[[[[HUGS]]]]] are being sent for you!

Try not to worry and please keep us updated?

Continued prayers on the way!

Just a brief update: Unfortunately, she started puking again this morning, now every couple of minutes. She's eating a lot of grass. The weird thing is, she's begging for food, seems to be very hungry. BTW, she did not poop since this started.

Wonder if it's outrageous to call my vet this morning at 7:30 am. Her office hours start at 9. But I would like to bring her in and leave her at the vet's office while I'm at work. Cannot leave her alone at home in this state!

She's loving and purring and always wants to be with me, but I just have to go back to work today, even though I'm feeling ill myself.

Think I will call my vet now.

Edit: Just talked to her. Will bring her to her office now where she has to stay the day. More tests will be done (xray etc.). I'm so worried!
