sickly kitty
Jul. 18th, 2003 07:07 pmKisia's been vomiting since about 4:30. At first we thought it was hairballs, but she continues to spit up even though it's just water now.
Called the emergency vets - he said that if she is otherwise ok (and she is - subdued and hiding under the bed, but ok) to take food and water away until 1:30 am and that this didn't sound like an emergency situation. So, we're keeping an eye on her and not bothering her too much.
Yes, I know, I'm being a paranoid cat lady - she probably ate some rancid tuna juice or some such and is just purging, but it bothers me. I mean, they don't go outside, so it's not like she can catch anything from another cat, so I have to wonder what it might be in the house that made her sick.
Whatever it was, Spice is fine, at the very least.
If anyone has seen this sort of thing before with their cats, I'd be much appreciative of advice/suggestions/support!
