Mishi to White Coats - PT prayers please

[RedHedd]

Oh brother - vomiting cats! Both of them! I know with Mitzi it was because she gobbled down her breakfast too fast, but Mishi threw up immediately on getting up this a.m. - fluidy stuff. He's obviously not feeling too well, so I'm going to call the vet.

One thing about being a PT member is that we watch our pets more carefully - at least I do. I think PT pets are getting better care because we all are made very aware of what differences in behavior to look for.

At times I think it could be worrying-meowmie syndrome, but I think I'd rather spend a few $$ on my pets to assure me that they are okay or that something that is amiss is caught earlier than it would have been in the past.

PT is the best!

Oh no, puking kitties. That's not very nice to deal with. Please let us know what the vet says. More prayers on the way.

I'm sorry to hear that both of your furkids are throwing up. I know that mine will throw up from time to time and Cirrus threw his dinner up just last night. It's so hard not to worry about them but I try not to panic too much as long as they're still acting normally.
I sure hope that Mishi feels better soon and that it's nothing serious. Prayers and positive thoughts are still being sent your way. Please take care and try to update us when you can.

Poor boybee. He spent most of the day at the vet's. He didn't eat all day! They gave him subcutaneous fluids because he was a bit dehydrated and he got the dreaded enema, after another X-ray showed him blocked up. The vet said he was borderilne having to be hospitalized the whole weekend, but I opted to bring him home as I knew he would have been all alone at the kitty hospital until Tuesday because of the holiday.

He's home now and has eaten, after getting a dose of Periactin. His poor backend is all curly - he was a wet mess back there when I picked him up and we cleaned him up a bit. Poor guy. He does seem a little bit perkier after eating, but he's still laying low. Continuing prayers that he continues to feel better would be appreciated. Thanks!

Georgia, I'm so sorry that Mishi was blocked up again had to have another enema.
My RB Pepper became blocked up a few times and I had to start giving him 1 1/2 ml of lactulose 2 times a day. He never liked it but it seemed to work because he never became blocked up again.
Once again I'm continuing to send prayers and positive thoughts to both you and Mishi. Please get well soon big orangie boy.

Poor baby, I don't blame you for bringing him home. Our vet doesn't have anyone in the bldging past 10 p.m. (kennel people leave at 10 p.m.) the office staff comes in at 8 a.m. I wonder what they do with seriously ill animals that might need to be watched closely? They wanted me to possibly leave RB Butterscotch there all night but after finding out no one would be there I told them I would bring him home with me.

Poor baby. Hope he is feeling better today.

Keeping him in my prayers.

We do have a 24-hour emergency pet hospital, but it's on the other side of town.

He is coming around, albeit very slowly. He did eat, pee and poop last night and he finally meowed this morning - he'd been completely quiet since I brought him home from the vet. As he normally meows all the time, it's very strange to have him so quiet. This morning I gave him his Periactin dose (I'm amazed that he's very easy to pill) and he drank some water.

Our ER place is 28-30 miles north of us.
