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

**Kirsten** · 03-25-2009, 12:50 PM

Bad surprise for me when I came home from work: My entire place was full of puke (the cleaning was no fun at all). Must have started soon after breakfast this morning (all the food came out), and it still lasted this evening when I came home. Now clear liquid only, and some grass... Luna cried and howled from pain and nausea.

Of course she went to the vet immediately, mommy already in panic. Her belly was soft, mucous membranes pink, so my vet thinks it's just gastroenteritis (but Luna's stool last night was normal) and gave her two shots. I also got electrolytes which I'm supposed to give her in an hour, and another med to calm down her stomach.

I have to watch her closely, because if the vomiting continues, I need to bring her back to the vet tomorrow in the morning (no idea how to get off from work, but I have to manage somehow, if necessary). Even when the puking stops during the night, my vet wants to see her again, but in that case, tomorrow after work will be early enough.

I'm very worried that it may be something serious, a blockage, kidney failure or a viral infection. Please say some prayers for Luna and keep her in your thoughts!

Just lit a candle for Luna. I hope she gets to feeling better A.S.A.P.!!

Having been through many kidney problems over the years, she doesn't sound like she has them (they usually involve lots of inappropriate peeing

).

I hope that Luna feels better (and Mom) very very soon.

I am praying for Luna. I hope she is okay!

**happylabs** · 03-25-2009, 01:56 PM

I hope she is okay. Saying prayers for you. I just clicked on her photo and found your web page for her. I never realized how much she looks like my Kit-Kat that went to the Rainbow Bridge several years ago. I just love the brown tabbies. She is a beautiful cat.

Lots of prayers going up for sweet Luna, Kirsten.

Poor girl, she must be miserable and frightened; poor meowmie, I know you are FRANTIC. Please keep us posted as to her condition and what the vet says.

((((hugs))))

Oh no!

Prayers on the way for you and Luna. I can imagine how scared you both must be. I certainly hope the vet can help her feel better!

**hugs**

**katladyd** · 03-25-2009, 02:59 PM

Please keep us updated. We all love Luna!

**Kirsten** · 03-25-2009, 03:20 PM

We're back. It's almost 9:30 pm here. Luna got more shots, electrolytes, and anti-emetics against the vomiting and nausea, and she's slightly sedated to calm her down.

If she's not getting better during the night, I'm supposed to bring her in tomorrow before work. She will stay the day at the vet's office and will have all the tests done - xrays, bloodwork, etc... I better do not think about the bill!

But the most important thing is that my girl will be better!

Thank you everyone for your prayers and support!

Kirsten
