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

[krazyaboutkatz]

Kirsten, I'm so sorry to hear that Luna's still vomiting. Did your vet say anything about fasting her to help give her tummy a rest? I sure hope that she'll start feeling better soon. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

How is Luna now? I hope you're starting to feel better Luna, have you eaten something you shouldn't have? I hope your bad stomach starts to get better soon, I'm thinking of you.

Thank you everyone for keeping Luna in your thoughts!

She's not doing well today. She vomited again this morning (it's always in the morning), but it was just hair that came up (she cleaned herself a lot yesterday). She kept her food down.

To prevent further vomiting, I gave her some vetranquil (antiemetic), but as it seems, that has been the substance that made her so psychotic the other night. Again, she started acting restless and aggressive after that, and is getting grumpy when things don't go her way. And she follows me everywhere I go. She's sleeping in my lap for more than a hour now, looks really drugged and bombed. No more vetranquil for her, thats for sure! Will email my vet about that later.

Also, I'm a bit worried about the increased GOT, even though my vet told me not to be. I wonder if some serious stuff is going on. After all, I know that her blood count isn't right for years, and we never knew what's the cause (my vet thinks it's from her chronic UTI's). But who knows? Maybe it's something bad that's now acting up and is getting worse?

Kirsten, it sounds as if she's over the worst now, so I hope you'll both have a peaceful sunday and sh starts eating with throwing up.

Did your vet say anyting about what she can eat and what not?

Keep getting better, Luna!

(((hugs)))

Edit* Oh no, this doesn't sound good. Perhaps it's a good idea to not give her any food, or just tiny amounts at a time. However, you have to make sure she drinks. I don't know what GOT means, but if the vet says you don't need to worry about that, it's probably true - but something is wrong. Hope the vet has a new idea of what to do.

Randi, I think we posted at the same time. She's not so well today (see post above).

And no, we haven't discussed her diet yet. For the time being, she's on Hill's i/d, but I don't let her eat much. Her stomach needs to recover first.

I'm so sorry that you are both going through this. I have no experience with it, but I am still sending all my best wishes to you and Luna.

Kirsten, here's part of a post from Dog General that may apply here. It sounds like giving Luna's tummy a rest has helped, and maybe a bland diet instead of her regular dry food for a day will help also.

I don't know what 'cerenia' is, but there must be other ways to coat her little tummy...there is some kind of pepto stuff from vets, but I don't recall the name.

looks like my little baby has a case of gastroenteritis! or upset tummy causing vomiting and diarrhea. No food or water for 24 hours. She got a big under the skin fluid shot because she is dehydrated, and another shot for nausea. Tomorrow around 7 am she will be offered just a bland diet, baby food and boiled chicken, as well as half a pill of cerenia for 4 days to prevent vomiting!

Luna is a little better...and I hope she heals well very soon. Also - ask your vet about the grain-free food. I suspect it would help both your girls.

ETA: I Googled for grain free foods in Germany, and found these:

At least now you know what's been making her sick and you can proceed from there. Poor little girl, she must've been in so much pain. We're still praying here.....
