Dear Sue, I'm happy to hear that your kitty is keeping something down. I'm sure the vet can fit her in - vets are supposed to allot time for emergencies. I've had to wait on several occasions while they tended to emergencies. Be sure to tell them she has been throwing up since Friday. My vet was so alarmed when Rosalie wouldn't stop throwing up, he x-rayed her and proposed exploratory surgery. BTW - she isn't really an outdoor kitty - I had her on a leash and was thinking about something else when she got into the flower bed. It was all my fault. If your vet won't treat a felv cat, isn't there somewhere else you can go. Granted that most positive cats don't have the greatest prospects, vets can often alleviate pain and illness and that is what they are supposed to do. Do we not treat HIV patients because they are all going to die anyway? Sorry - I'll get off my soap box, now.
