I'm wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this with their kitties. Cleo was sneezing and wheezing a few weeks back, so I took her to the vet. She stayed there for 4 days while we went away (easier for them to give her meds.) She is on antibiotics and antihistamine for either a respiratory infection or possibly allergies to pollen or the dog we dog-sit frequently.
She seemed fine from Tuesday when we got back until yesterday. We are dog-sitting again, so she's not quite her usual self anyway (not a fan of the dog even though it's littler than her!) She threw up a hairball Friday night which I found Saturday morning. She fussed a lot when I tried to give her her pills (wouldn't eat the treats and kept spitting out the pills) and her eyes seemed runny. I left her alone; later on she ate and then promptly threw up the mostly undigested food. I took her food away so her stomch would settle and gave her just a little dry food late last night. She vomited that too. This morning she seems ok, not dehyrdated as far as I can tell from her skin. She is drinking water and has been using the litterbox ok. I tried to hand feed her a few pieces of dry food but she didn't want them.
I figured I wouldn't give her anything till late tonight....but I'm concerned about the throwing up and the fact that I haven't been able to give her her medicine since Friday night. (She hasn't sneezed or seemed to have her respiratory symptoms since yesterday.) Someone suggested I give her rice later to soothe her tummy. Would that be a good idea? Should I take her to the vet tomorrow?
Thanks!
