Hi everyone. Storm's still not doing well. He'll be fine for a few days and then he'll start vomiting again. Last night was not a good night. I gave all of my cats their monthly advantage treatments and then I attempted to brush all of their teeth with special cat toothpaste. I then fed them later on and shortly after this Storm threw up his dinner. I gave him 1/2 of a pepcid but it didn't do the trick and he threw up liquid. He later drank some water and then threw up more liquid.
I called Adobe and spoke with an emergency vet and he told me to take the water away and just monitor him. If he seems lethargic then I should bring him in. Well Storm was very restless and needy but not lethargic. He wanted to sleep next to my head or be on top of me or as close as he could get to me. This is very unlike him because he usually sleeps at the foot of the bed or in one of the cat beds. I could tell that he was very uncomfortable.
He threw up more liquid at 5:25am and later when I got up I put down some water and he drank like he was very dehydrated. I later gave him a little baby food with some Forti Flora mixed in. He threw that up about 10 minutes later. I called Adobe and I was able to get a 9:30am appt. The vet took x-rays and the techs drew some blood for blood work. The x-rays turned out fine but I still don't know the results of the blood work.
The vet was supposed to call me this afternoon but I never received a call. When I called Adobe this evening, the vet was already gone for the day. They do have the results but the vet needs to talk to me about them. I'm going to try calling tomorrow morning around 9am. Storm also received sub-q fluids and an anti-nausea shot. I can tell he's feeling a lot better. The vet also recommended that I give Storm 1/4 of a pepcid in the morning and 1/4 at night so I've been doing this.
Storm's also lost some weight since his dental surgery which didn't surprise me. He was 13.9lbs and now he's down to 12lbs and something. He feels so boney to me. He was very hungry tonight but I gave him only a little bit of his food to see if he can keep it down. So far so good. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. I'll try to update you about his blood work as soon as I can. Thanks.
