Hi
everyone
Please know that though I'm not able to be on the
list all the time at present, and have to go away again soon, all your
furbabies are always in my thoughts, and I especially send positive thoughts
for those that aren't doing so well. As always, I send my condolences to
everyone who has lost a beloved kitty.
My
beloved foster cat, Kitty, who went to her new home a few weeks ago,
while being treated at the same time for diarrhea, has had a recurrence of the
same symptoms, and I'm worried about her. Here's what her new mom
says:
"She is vomiting clear liquid, not eating as
much and there was a small amt of blood in her stool this morning too. I
talked with Robin (from PAWS) and she said the thing that worried her the most
was the lack of appetite. I called my vet and she said the same thing,
we're going to go in on Thurs AM and run the full gamet of tests- just to be
on the safe side. Although, Robin mentioned this was the same type of
symptoms she had before with you.
True?
The Vet wasn't worried so much and thought the Thursday time was fine enough unless things
seem to worsen. like I said she's still hydrated, I've seen her drink
and she's been playing."
Does
anyone have any idea what these symptoms may mean? She did have all those
symptoms while with me (I rushed her to the vet). Also, can someone confirm
what I believe to be the case: that it's unsafe for a cat to go even one day
without eating. Kitty was very hard to assist feed, and I'm afraid that her
new mom may not realize how very important it is to get food inside her (it
doesn't seem like the vet paid much attention to the lack of appetite and
associated danger in letting it go on). I want to email her mom, but back it
up with facts, and what the consequences of Kitty not eating can/will
be.
Grateful for any information that i can pass
on.
Kerry M.
