Suddenly Coco Puff is sick!; *Update*; had to rush him to the vet

[kb2yjx]

Maybe he had a reaction to the treat...Hope Coco Puff is feeling better, and you too Mary!!

It just might be that theres something in that treat that triggered an allergic reaction, but that sounds very severe for that to happen.
We are praying that Cocoa Puff is all night, and this was just a reaction to a treat that somehow was tainted! I have seen Whiskas Temptations that looked and smelled off too.

Dr. Lee called while I was running errands. This is why I love this man. He was gone for the day but checked in and they told him that I called so he called me right away. I told him what was going on and he said "Are you sure he didn't get into something or eat some string or something like that?" I said "My house is so cat proofed you wouldn't believe it but I guess there's always that possibility". He said "It almost sounds like a blockage. When you get home, if you see that he hasn't changed, bring him right in".

So I checked on Coco immediately and he had vomited again, this time all mucous. So I took him in to Dr. Lee's. He did an x-ray of his stomach and he said that all that was in there was a lot of air. Poor little boy cried and just drooled all the way there and back home again. He was dripping on both sides when I took him out of the carrier just now. So Dr. Lee gave him an injection for nausea that lasts 12 hours and I have some nausea meds for him, too. But he said that if he's still vomiting to bring him in again. Neither of us can figure out what has caused this so suddenly. Dr. Lee feels that he's going to be ok, though.

Prayers for Coco.

Candle on the way!!! Prayers, too....

[Catty1]

Poor little guy! Prayers that he feels much better SOON!

[Medusa]

He seems to be doing better. The drooling has finally stopped, thankfully. He went over by the counter top where I keep the cat treats and he looked up at the jar. I thought "You've got to be kidding me, cat!" Right now he's sitting by the front screen door looking out at the few birds that are still hopping around in the yard.

Medusa, I'm sorry I didn't see this thread until now.
I'm so sorry to hear that your sweet Coco Puff isn't feeling well.
Milly and I send tons of get well soon wishes and lots of hugs, kisses, headbumpies and purrs to sweet Coco Puff.
I hope he is getting better now, I know Meezers can have sensitive stomachs, Milly eats things she shouldn't and throws up sometimes from eating too fast so we really have to keep an eye on her and what she puts in her mouth.

I'm only seeing this now, Mary.. I am SO happy to read that Dr. Lee got back to you and saw him and has given him some nausea meds and now Coco Puff is doing better.. but Dr. Lee will see him again tomorrow if he is still vomiting..

No wonder you love Dr. Lee so much!

Keep on keeping on and feeling better, Coco Puff.. everything is under control now.

Sleep well and get some good rest, both of you!

Yes, Dr. Lee is the vet god. After he performs surgery on Thursdays, he goes home for the day. When he called me, he said "I'll be here til 7. No need to call. Just come in." I forbid him to retire!

Coco Puff, keep on recovering and feeling better!

[Laura's Babies]

What a wonderfully sweet, caring man Dr. Lee is. You are so lucky to have him. Hope he gets better real soon and prayers are still going up for him.

Very glad Coco is doing better, and that is a great vet.

Well, we made it through the night w/no episodes of drooling so the anti-nausea injection apparently worked. Coco even ate a little bit of dry food during the night. He didn't sleep w/me, though; he slept on the bathroom rug all night. I guess he didn't want to be bothered. The real test is going to be this morning. I haven't fed the Fur Posse their Fancy Feast yet. I'm afraid for him to eat any of it. I think I might put him in the basement when I feed them. I don't think he needs that on his stomach right now, especially w/all the mucous he's been vomiting.

Oh my what a day you had yesterday Mary.

I hope Coco Puff is able to keep down his food this morning and I hope there isn't anything wrong with him. Poor guy.

Prays coming your way for you and Coco Puff.
