Prayers for my Yodie, please; She has MRSA; *Update* 1/5; good/bad news; #269

[Medusa]

Did Dr Lee suggest pepcid or something to soothe her tummy? How about Forti-Flora?

Too bad she can't get weekly injections or something.

Prayers this is a nasty couple of off-days and she will bounce back.

{{{hugs}}}

Well, I thought I would just leave her alone and see how she did. She stayed downstairs all day and when I just now went to check on her again, she was out of her hiding place so I thought she felt better but then she did the yodeling and I knew that she was going to vomit again. This time it was all mucous. I left a vm for Dr. Lee to call me in the morning. I'm afraid it's going to be a long night. I was supposed to go to my surgeon's tomorrow because I'm having issues w/my jaw and the pain is getting to be pretty bad. If I don't go tomorrow, it'll have to wait until Monday and I'm not sure I can make it that long. Good grief, why do these things always happen on a holiday or a weekend? She hadn't vomited w/the MRSA at all but I'm wondering now if the surgery messed things up.

Prayers for Yodie and meowmie too.

I remembered that I had some anti-nausea medication left over from when Puddy was sick. Dr. Lee told me not to throw meds away b/c he doesn't necessarily believe that expiration dates are accurate. So I was finally able to catch Yodie to give her some. Boy, sick or not, that cat is fast! I worked up a sweat! Hopefully, that'll keep her calm through the night and then Dr. Lee will be able to tell me what to do.

Prays coming that Yodie stops vomitting and feels better soon. I know all to well what's it like to deal with your own heal issues and trying to deal with you babies.

Prays and hugs,

I gave her a second dose of anti-nausea med at 4:15 AM and by 7:15 she vomited again. I'm waiting to hear from Dr. Lee.

Just spoke to Dr. Lee; he said to stop all oral meds for one entire day to give her stomach a rest. Unfortunately, the Doxycyclene (for the MRSA) can sometimes cause esophagitis and he thinks that could be the case w/her because her vomit was tinged w/blood. She ate breakfast, though, so he feels that she probably does not have an ulcerated esophagus because swallowing would be too painful. If, after she goes back on the med, she vomits again, he said "I'll tear my hair out b/c then our only other option is the injection, which stings and is expensive. You'll get the first injection accomplished w/no problem; after that you'll have a tough time". She didn't vomit after breakfast and she's in her favorite spot in the patio room, which is good b/c that means she's feeling better or she'd be hiding in the basement as she did yesterday. Here's hoping for a good, calm day. Please keep the prayers coming for my little girl. I feel so bad for her.

Awwww, Yodie I hope your tummy feel better soon. Sorry about the yucky meds making you feel not so great.

Poor Yodie!! I'm so sorry about the vomiting!!! She's going through so much, and nausea is the last thing she needs right now!!

I hope her stomach will calm down soon without the oral meds!

One question: Is she eating more kitty gras now that she's nauseaus? Just asking because it can be counterproductive in times of nausea. When Luna was so sick earlier this year, she would eat it excessively and threw it up so my vet recommended to put it away until her stomach got some rest.

Best wishes for your poor Yodie!
