Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / February 2004Advice needed, worried about my cat (Sherry, Cheryl, protector etc)
Hey Guys, I need your advice; my my kittie 'Bee' indoor/outdoor, spayed female about 1 and 1/2 years hasn't eaten or drunk anything the entire day. 1. She came back last night about 2300 and wasn't playing/joining us in her favourites games. 2. 0930 in the morning she threw up brownish vomit (the colour of her food) that look liked a turd, she got up, went outside, acting normal and then came in and has been asleep since. 3. It's now 2141; while stoking her on on her side (where the rib cage starts, from the head side) she made a kind of soft growling noise when slight pressure is appiled to that area, almost like gas. She is though wagging her tail in a good way when I speak and stroke her. Have you guys got any ideas what it is? We're going to the vet tomorrow morning at 0930 for microchip, booster vaccination, regular deworm pill/powder and flea spot-on thing anyway, but your advice, ideas, experience etc would be great. Cheers, Sonny London, England http://community.webshots.com/album/67928229emuBlI > Hey Guys, > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > London, England > http://community.webshots.com/album/67928229emuBlI Nope. Vet is best thing. Please keep us posted. She may have been hurt. Karen >Mr Nangla" nangla@nildram.co.uk wrote: >Have you guys got any ideas what it is?

Could be all sorts of things; off the top of my head I might guess mild pancreatitis, but best that your vet diagnose it. Let us know what he/she says. >Have you guys got any ideas what it is?

Don't let the vet vaccinate her if she is feeling badly. It's just so hard on them when they're sick, then if they have a reaction to the vaccine, you don't know whether it's the vaccine, or the original illness. Good luck to you and your kitty. Please let us know what the vet says. Sherry Hi Sonny, The vomit "could|" have been a fur ball . Is it normal for her to come home at 23.00? If it was later than normal maybe something happened and she was hurt but only a vet will be able to tell you . Let us know how she is. Alison > Hey Guys, > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > London, England > http://community.webshots.com/album/67928229emuBlI That's exactly what I was thinking. Horked up hairballs often look like pieces of poop. But then the other symptoms don't sound like a simple hairball. So... I don't know what it could be, unless a combo of a simple hairball, along w/ something else going on. Cathy -- "Staccato signals of constant information..."

It's 1.30 pm over here, so Sonny should be back from the vet by now . I hope he posts in soon to let us know how Bee is .

I'm with Sherry - I wouldn't have the vax done if she isn't well, but definitely keep the appt. Poor girl.. could she have gotten into something? Eaten something foreign? Good luck with her and let us know how she is. Cheryl > Hey Guys, > > I need your advice; my my kittie 'Bee' indoor/outdoor, spayed female about 1 > and 1/2 years hasn't eaten or drunk anything the entire day. <snip> I agree with keep the vet appointment, but no vaccinations if she's ill. So many things can happen when they go out. As my Dad says, 'After laughing comes crying' and it's just so true! heh They're having fun and then accidents happen, you know? Maybe she was chasing a little furry thing and fell, or maybe she caught something like a kitty cold while she was chatting with the other kitties. Even pancreitis, as was mentioned. Have the vet check her over and let us know how she is, okay?  Signature-- ~kaeli~ If you drink, don't park. Accidents cause people. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace Hey guys, Good news; she's feeling much better! I took her to the vet, he didn't know exactly what it was but she had a temperature of 110f or 105f! He didn't vaccinate and instead gave her antibiotics, two injections. I was also given some food that would go down easier and tablets I have to give her starting from tomorrow, twice a day (only one day) and back to the vet on Saturday for a re-check up and if she's ok then she'll get vaccinated. Once she came home she was eating, drinking and venturing outside, not playing though. Her balance isn't that good and there was some nervous purring before she jumped down from the sink, but I guess that's because of the antibiotics. Sorry for the delay, it's now 1848 I had to go into uni afterwards and just came back an hour ago (I didn't leave her alone though, my family were in). Thank you to everyone, for the reassurance I was feeling very nervous about today, so I can't imagine how Bee was feeling. Sonny > Hey Guys, > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > London, England > http://community.webshots.com/album/67928229emuBlI Even 105 is a very high temp for a cat, so it must have been that (if you are talking farenheit). Cats *can* get unexplained fevers and they act very down. Glad to hear she is eating and drinking. Try and get her to drink extra if possible. With a fever that is important. I hope that goes down as well when you take her back. Keep us posted. Karen > Hey guys, > [quoted text clipped - 49 lines] > > London, England > > http://community.webshots.com/album/67928229emuBlI > Hey guys, > > Good news; she's feeling much better! Yay! I hope she gets well soon. :) Signature-- ~kaeli~ When a clock is hungry, it goes back four seconds. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace >Hey guys, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >vet on Saturday for a re-check up and if she's ok then she'll get >vaccinated. Aww. You were right, she really didn't feel well. Antibiotics usually start working really quickly. Good luck. Hope she feels better soon. Sherry > Hey guys, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > London, England > > http://community.webshots.com/album/67928229emuBlI Hi Sonny, Thanks for letting us know . I'm glad she's going to be ok. Alison > Hey guys, > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Sonny I'm glad that she's starting to feel better, & hope that the anitbiotic will work for whatever's been ailing her. I'd give the anitibiotics 48 hrs. to do their stuff; if she's still not back to her completley normal self after that, I'd be likely to bring her back in for a re-evaluatuion - JMO. Btw - a cat's normal temp ranges from about 101 - 102.5?F. 103?F is considered high normal or low fever. Cathy -- "Staccato signals of constant information..."

Hopefully it is just a quick bug that the meds and special food will help with. :)
