Well, usually Alice is the healthy one of my four but now she's being a bit of a sick kitty. She's been losing weight, although I thought because I'd managed to limit her hogging Tigger's food w/ meds in it, and neither I nor the vet were worried because she was pudgy and needed to shed a couple of pounds.
Well, she's really been off her feed today and been busy throwing up a lot. As it has all been liquid, I assume it's a nasty hairball she needs to get rid of one end or the other. So I gave her a good dose of hairball remedy laxative. Darn it, I gave her too much and now she has had a really nasty liquid stool that's more mucus than anything else. And shortly afterwards threw up again.
Poor baby acts miserable, won't eat, but is still drinking water. I cleaned her nasty backside and will call the vet first thing in the morning. I'm wondering if she managed to ingest something she shouldn't like a stray rubber band (although I'm pretty vigilant about keeping such dangers away from cats) or an insect that got in across some of the bug poison sprayed outside the house. sigh.... Not sure I'll sleep much tonight keeping an eye and ear on her.
And there she was happily skating at the Gasparilla party yesterday. :-) Guess with four cats one of them will just about always find a way to keep me on my toes.
