Ask a Vet!

[Karen]

By the way, this week we are doing the show on Thursday, at 3 EST, so I can still take questions up to that point!

After Clover was spayed (like the day she was home) she drank a bunch of water until she had a large belly and I started to limit it for her a little. I assumed it had to do with her belly hurting. Anyway, she still gets this now and then where she just won't stop drinking. It's happened a few more times, and again today - her belly is bloated looking. I looked up symptoms for bloat, but she seems fine other then the large belly and thirst. If it's just an upset belly then is there something I can do to prevent her from over drinking? Is it harmful to drink that much?

I will ask that, I take it she's otherwise acting normally, gums are healthy and pink, etc?

Yeah she seems fine other then that. I came home from work this evening and she greeted me with a wagging tail and excitement like always.

Actually, I just noticed she had very runny diarrhea.

I also gave her a fish oil pill last night...I gave them to her before without a problem but she hasn't had one in a while. Could that cause the diarrhea?

I'll ask the vets on Thursday, I'll mention that!

Karen, would you please ask your vets if they have any thoughts on how I can get Sparkler OUT from inside the bedsprings-box where she has been hiding so much of the time?

There is more info about all this in the thread I've been posting in Cat/Health about Sparkler: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...ppetite-is-off .

Thanks,
Pat and Sparkler and the other kitties
