Frost vomiting white foam & not eating *Update March 22nd, post 22*

I'm so sorry to hear that Frost isn't feeling very well. Prayers are being prayed that the problem is nothing more than some nasty bug the meds can take care of. If he's up for it, please give Frost some gentle feel better lovies from me? As you can, please let us know how he's doing?

Hope it all clears up and Frost feels better quickly.

That liver ailment, I've only had of it happening this way: some times people with a fat cat will try not feeding the cat. OR a cat grieving when it's owner passes will stop eating. As they stop eating completely, the liver stops working, next the cat is jaundiced and can die. Since none of that applies to Frost, it "should" be a stomach bug, just got him to stop eating and so the liver was shutting down. Once the bug passes, he should be fine.

Frost, please calm down and take your meds and fluid treatments, we want you to feel better.

The antibiotics should help Frost feel better quickly. Mac got terribly ill several years ago and would not eat or drink. After about 3 days I took him to my vet who had no idea what was the matter with him. I went to vet after vet and all they could do was hydrate him and scratch their heads. A specialist told me his liver was enlarged but that was very likely the result of 5 days of not eating. They wanted several thousand dollars to do an exploratory surgery. I did not have that amount of money, so instinct kicked in and I asked for some antibiotics and fluids. 1 day later Mac started eating and the next day he was drinking up a storm. I found out later after some blood work came back, that he had a blood infection probably as a reaction to a flea med I gave him. Antiobiotics worked wonders for Mac and I hope they do the same for dear Frost!
