    Sorry I haven't updated before this.

    Dale is now confined to a cage all day with plenty of food. She has run of the house when I'm there, but has to stay in the cat room when I'm not. She isn't afraid of the dogs, but I don't totally trust them with her.

    She's still eating at 3 AM on the nightstand. And her food and water is disappearing during the day at a reasonable rate.

    I called the vet today and they hadn't received the records from her original vet because their fax was down for a couple days. I asked for them again and will call my vet tomorrow if I don't hear from her today.

    I'm wondering if she could have IBS. Some days she doesn't vomit at all and eats well, other days nothing stays down and she really doesn't want to eat. She loves tuna cat food, but it usually comes back up later. Maybe too rich?

    I'll let you know what I find out.

    My vet just called. We discussed what could be causing her to vomit. Her blood work seems OK, although one of the tests was a little high and could indicate pancreas problems. She said she would be glad to see Dale and possibly give her a cortisone shot to help stop the vomiting and give her more appetite. She doesn't want to subject her to a lot of tests at her age. Either do I. I think Dale and I will be visiting my vet Thursday. There may not be anything we can do.
