Thank you for your warm welcome.

I did take her to the Emergency this evening, but I feel it was a complete waste of time. While there she was her old self, charming the doctor, exhibiting no signs of whatever this is that's going on. He probed and prodded, took her temperature (which was normal). He said he could find nothing out of the ordinary...but did prescribe something called Tylosin for her 'upset tummy'

Problem is she still cant keep that or anything else down, she was sick 20 minutes after giving her the Tylosin. She managed to rest/sleep for about three hours before being sick again.

Blockage sounds feasible, though she is uncomfortable with being handled just before and after being sick in between seems fine.

I cannot get the emerg to do anything other than what they did, as they explained that they only treat as a bridge until you can see your own vet.

(I wrote this last night but didnt submit)

Seems to be a little different story this morning. She was not sick overnight and this morning has eaten (yesterday she would not)

Much to my surprise, I got a call from her own vet this morning, (the emerg faxes a report to your own vet after she's been there) and she wanted to follow up. It was a relief to speak with her, and she spent 15 minutes answering my questions and trying to ease my mind.

Slick, I asked all of your questions, she didnt seem to feel it was a blockage, because she is able to defacate both ways, she said if she was blocked, she would or could have diarrhea (or nothing) but not a solid stool, which she does. The vet felt we should suspend giving her the clavamox, she thinks that's what's upsetting her stomach. She advised giving her no meds until tomorrow morning when I will pick up a prescription for Baytril and continue with that. Thank you for your input, I appreciate it very much.

krazyaboutkatz, thank you also, I was getting ready to drip water into her mouth, when she suddenly seemed to be able to tolerate it again. That was a definite, thanks for the reminder on how fast they can dehydrate.

It's been about 15 minutes since she's eaten, and so far so good, I even opened a window in her favourite spot and she's focusing all her attention at the moment on some birds in the trees, which is another good sign I think.

I will keep you posted, as my experience may help others somewhere down the road. Talking here has helped greatly, more than you can know.
