Luna is very sick: Threw up about 30 times! (update #167: someone threw up!)

Kirsten, I'm sorry that you had such a horrible night. I'm glad to hear that she's kept some food down and hopefully she'll become her sweet self again soon. Good luck at the vet today.

Bless her heart - and yours! I hope you have much better news for us soon.

Take good care of yourself too!

Thank you everyone! I really hope this night will be better! Have to go back to work tomorrow and I do not function without any sleep!

This afternoon, I took her back to the vet's for another check. Her tummy is still soft, her temperature is normal, and her heart sounds fine. She's still under the influence of the meds she got, looks really drugged. We were able to draw blood from her (to check her kidneys, liver, and thyroid) without another sedation. She was such a good girl! Will get the results on Monday, and I'm a bit nervous about the possibility of renal failure.

The situation at home is still the same. A lot of growling and hissing between Luna and Lily; I know from former experiences that it will take a couple of days before things will be back to normal.

I just hope she won't have a relapse. It's now 24 hours ago that she puked the last time, and she seems to be very hungry. She's begging for food all the time and so far, she kept down what she ate.

And she wants to be with mommy all the time. After the vet visit, I fell asleep because I was really tired and miserable after that sleepless night, and she curled up next to me and slept, too.

Here's hoping Luna won't vomit anymore. I know, it's frightening; we just went through this with Binky. After a couple of vet visits it was found that he has IBD, so we have to give him meds, plus feed him small meals more frequently.

It's good that she hasn't had an episode for 24 hours, let's hope it continues.

Hugs and prayers for both of you!

Aww, poor Luna! I hope you can get her sorted out.

I hope the results will be good and that there will be nothing more to worry about. Luna seems better this evening. Crossing paws that you all have a good night.

Hi Kirsten,

Sending thoughts and prayers for all 3 of you. I know how upsetting it can be.

God Bless....

I hope the results will be good and that there will be nothing more to worry about. Crossing paws that you all have a good night.

That goes for me, too.

Prayers and positive vibes on the way for precious Luna that it isn't anything serious and that she feels better real soon.

My oldest son's cat went through this years ago and the vet said he had some kind of virus. He was put on medication and was back to himself within a few days. Being indoor only cats, the vet said that my son or his girlfriend could have brought it in if they were touching another cat with the virus.
That's why whenever I pet a cat from outside, I always go straight into the bathroom and wash my hands and then put on some hand sanitizer before I do anything else.

I'm praying that whatever is wrong with Luna, that it could easily be remedied with some medication.

{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} Kirsten as I know how worried you must be.

Kirsten, I am glad to hear that Luna is keeping down some food.... and that she is LOVING her MOM!!! I will light another candle for you both!!!!

[snowbelle15]

Aww, poor Luna! Hope she feels better. Prayers for you both.

Hi Kirsten, I'm so sorry that Luna is feeling so terrible but it is encouraging that she has managed to keep down her food and hasn't thrown up for 24 hours. Prayers that she has turned the corner and will get better each day.
My cat Sneakers had a similar thing a few years ago. She vomitted everywhere for a day and I raced her into the vet. She was hypothermic at that point. They did every test under the sun (xrays, ultrasound, bloodwork, urinalysis) including exploratory surgery to look inside her bladder! They never did find out what it was but they put her on IV fluids and ran antibiotics through the iv lines for a few days and she just got better and better. We have no idea what happened and neither do the vets. That was 4 or 5 years ago and she is still in good health.
I'm praying that Luna is dealing with something similar that will pass. I wonder if she wouldn't do well with some antibiotics though if she doesn't get better in a few days.

I hope Luna is 100% very soon. Sounds like you are doing everything possible for her. What a great meowmie!

Sometimes people baffle me (well most of the time,truth be told!) Why would anyone tell someone to expect the worse when a furkid is ill? How does this help at all? I'm pretty sure they don't have a vets degree? No qualified vet would even guess what was wrong without examining the patient. Your "friend" should keep their two-bit opinions to themselves and be supportive and wishing you and Luna the best. Oi vey!

Alll fingers and paws crossed in California that this is just a passing icky.
