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

[Kirsten]

Thanks! The good news is, Luna was looking a bit happier today, you could see it in her eyes...

But there's one thing that makes me feel bad. That horrible night after her massive vomiting, when she was under the influence of the drugs and acted psychotic, I have to admit that I've been yelling at her at 3 am in the night when she did everything she could to not let me sleep, making a lot of noise with the carpet, and the doors. I feel so bad about it, I know she was not herself and not responsible for her actings, but I felt so tired and saw the clocks ticking the night away without me getting any sleep. And I was worrying about how to do my job the next day... I know that was terribly selfish of me, and it was not fair.
For some reason, she doesn't seem to mind, I hope she forgave me. But I'm still feeling bad about it. I love her so much, and yet I could not help getting angry when she didn't let me sleep...

Oh Kirsten, don't feel bad. It's only natural to be short tempered when we're tired and going w/out sleep. The very first time I took my RB Puddy in to see Dr. Lee is when she had an inflamed and blocked colon (although I didn't know it yet) and she was meowing and crying the entire drive there. I had been up w/her all night and I was exhausted. At that time, I hadn't found a shortcut to Dr. Lee's office yet and it would take me 1 1/4 hours to get there and Puddy kept crying and I kept turning up the volume on the radio to drown her out. I yelled at her to be quiet and I felt awful about it. I still do. So don't feel bad. It happens to all of us, I think.

Oh, Kirsten, I think you need to make a formal apology to Luna, and then look at yourself in the mirror and say, "And, Kirsten, I forgive myself!". All of us have been there at some time or other in our life. None of us are perfect and the loss of sleep is such a big deal. Please, forgive yourself, and place all of your energies into loving your girls.

Hugs,

All of us have yelled at our babies when we are sleep deprived! We wouldn't be human if we didn't. I feel bad when I have done it, but cats are so forgiving! The next day they are sitting on your lap purring and you are so thankful they are feeling better that you can't stop kissing them. It all works out, doesn't it?

[Kirsten]

Thank you everyone for your kinds words and for being so understanding!

Johanna, that's some good advide, thanks a lot!

Someone has thrown up here this evening btw. Don't know who it was but I think it was Luna because I saw she had tears running down her cheeks. The vomit was only liquid and hair, and it happened only once, so far. Luna has eaten after that, and I hope she'll keep it down. I have to admit I'm a bit nervous now, especially since I know that my vet is on holiday.

That just sounds like a typical hairball upchuck. Keep an eye on her, but I would bet it is nothing serious.

[Kirsten]

Yes, looks like it's been just that. She seems to be fine these days.

Let's hope it was just a fur ball that made her throw up.. I DO check in on our pretty Luna and watch this situation although I don't post every time I do.

[Kirsten]

Thank you very much for caring about my beloved girl!
