I told the vet everything thats happened this past weekend. and Yes the vet knows she swallowed a rubber band. And Im going to Have to be able to financially handle surgery if thats the case. You think YOUR upset? I couldnt even look at my cat without crying for while there yesterday. Also...

The only reason I posted this thread in the first place was to see if there was any way I could make her feel better until I did get to the vet.

yes he did all that... her temp came out normal, and after squeezing around her intestines for about 3 minutes, he decidedly gave me this lubricant stuff and said to give her that as often as possible as long as she keeps it down. (wow every other word in the end of that last sentence is "as"...

I made my hubby realize how bad she really was. He said he was sorry and never thought she was THAT sick because as you said, Kitties hide their distress very well. Hes never had an indoor cat before. I think he thought that she just had a tummy ache, and didnt realize that she was vomiting...

Well this is day three... She has lost quite a bit of weight and shes very weak - when she walks around shes kinda wobbly. And this is the first time Ive seen her drink since Friday night. Shes sitting up instead of laying on her tummy (all crouched in) and shes cleaned herself a little bit. So...

Shes drinking water on her own!!

This vet I go to used to be really good, hes been a vet for 30-some years, Hes the only one Ive EVER taken my animals to see, and Ive never had a pet of my own die on me yet due to illness - my doggy Abigail is nearly 6 years old...wow I cant believe shes that old already. Im not trying to...

The vet said that x-rays wouldnt do much good for this situation unless she swallowed something metallic thats lodged in her digestive system.

Oh, the vet also thinks that there is some kind of blockage. She was by her litter box when I got up this morning... so perhaps she did use it last night - Im hoping. I didnt see any vomit anywhere when I woke up either. And she hasnt puked up the water or the lubricant yet. I thank everyone...

Well, I borrowed some cash - The vet really didnt have much to say. He couldnt figure what was wrong with her. But he did give me a digestive system lubricant, and that I need to feed her that as much as possible... just to get her to make some kind of bowel movement. If shes not better by...

Well, I went to the vet. But he wouldnt see her... because I didnt have the money up front. And I dont have a credit card or checking account of any kind.

Will blockage keep her from "doing her business" ? She hasnt gone potty in a day and a half. Im wondering if this has anything to do with a thread I posted a few days ago about her pooping (not urinating) outside of her litter box in various spots in the house.

Dont worry everyone. She is definitely going to the vet tomorrow, no matter what the "boss" says. Ive saved up $15.. so that will be at least a down payment. I love her more than I love him right now. My reg vet is about two miles away. Its close enough to walk. He was just on vacation. When I...

Yeah I dont know where she would have gotten the rubber band. I thought I DID kitty-proof the house. But like I said, it could have been under the fridge, under the stove, or the washer and dryer.... it doesnt look like a rubber hair-tie of mine... Mine are thick and dont have metal pieces. The...

Well, she has taken a turn for the worse. After medicating her and feeding her water, she is thinner than she was and puking again. It had been several hours since she puked before this last time I will definitely take her to the vet tomorrow. My hubby is the main breadwinner in the house. He...
