My Cat Is Sick - UPDATED 1/27/09 Poor kitty keeps throwing up and is kind of laying around more than usual. I'm not sure what's going on, but it looks like I'm going to have to take him to the vet. I just hope it's nothing serious. I'm a worrywart when it comes to my cats. [Edited 1/27/09 16:47pm] RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I'm sure you'll be fine once you get the vet to see him, it would be so less worrying if cats could tell us what was wrong though! | |

I know what you mean about animals not being able to tell us what was going on. What's worse is that a cat can be sick, and you would never know it. Cats seem to be good at concealing it when they're under the weather. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

Thanks, gyro, I appreciate it. I've been praying too that it's just a temporary tummy ailment and not something more serious. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

Okay, here is an update for those of you who are interested. I just got back from the vet's, after being there for almost an hour. The vet examined my cat, and said that he was dehydrated (probably from throwing up for the last couple of days). It's a good thing I brought him in when I did! The poor cat was so dehydrated that the vet had trouble drawing blood so that they could run tests on him. The vet had to draw blood from both legs, so the cat has a matching bandaid on each leg. The vet had to stop, give him some fluid to help with the rehydration, then draw the rest of the blood that he needed.
The vet also gave my cat some meds to help his tummy, as well as two liquid meds that I have to give to him morning and night. The doctor mentioned the possibility that the reason why my cat was vomiting could be something related to his liver or thyroid. But I'm hoping and praying that it's not that, and that this is something minor that can be cured quickly. [Edited 1/20/09 16:12pm] RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I hated it when my pets got sick because they can't tell you what's wrong.
Hope your cat (and you get to stop worrying) soon! I'm firmly planted in denial | |
