Paisley is one of my 10 month old Torties. She normally eats enough for 2 cats...but her appetite diminished quite a bit Monday afternoon. She was still nibbling, just not eating so much like normal. She didn't vomit, though...and she pooped normally Tues. afternoon. Still had a lousy appetite up until this morning, though. Lunch today was the deciding factor. She ate well, which was finally encouraging...but then she sat down and I noticed she was trembling. Not too much later, all of her lunch came up.
So she gulped a bunch of water and threw that up too.
So I took my poor girl to see the vet. Her temp was normal. The vet did feel "something hard" in her colon, she said it could just be poop, but it is very hard. So she took a couple xrays, and Paisley is plugged w/poop...hopefully nothing else. The xray didn't show anything very alarming, but there was something about her small intestine that was a little worrisome (looked a little "bunched" in one place)....but there was no gas or anything else that showed up.
So she's staying overnight tonight, to get an enema.
Then they'll feed her and see if it stays down and go from there.
Hopefully she's just very constipated...but there's that slim chance that she swallowed something she shouldn't have.
If you could think positive thoughts for Paisley, that would be great.
