This morning we woke up to an unpleasant surprise. One of my fosters was vomiting through out the night. The cage had about four piles of vomit of different consistencies all over it. We think the sick baby is Lovelock, the white one, because one, he has it on him, on top of his feet (so not like he stepped in it), and two, because he is acting sick. Kind of hunched over and generally miserable looking. Normally he is such a love, but this morning he's just kind of laying there.
It's 7 AM here, and my foster group is not up yet and my vets aren't open. I intend to make phone calls as soon as 9 AM hits, but was wondering if you guys could tell me anything while I wait. I'm very worried!
Some more details: We just got them on Saturday. They were all kind of sickly, we thought with the beginings of a URI. But now as of last night, they all seemed to be doing better. One sneeze that we heard all day, and every one playing and eating well. They've been on lysine. When we put them to bed last night, Lovelock seemed like his normal self. It was late and they were all in sleepy mode, so he could have been starting to feel yucky and we just thought he was tired like the rest of them. Then 6 hours later we checked on them again (this morning), and there was vomit everywhere and he was obviously not feeling well.
In case it helps, there were about 4 piles of it. The thickest went from not looking like vomit at all but rather mushed dry food. It looked just like the kitten mush (KMR soaked dry food) that I made for my baby fosters I had before!
To the thinest, which looked more like spit up. No blood or excess mucous. (The thin one you could kind of see mucosy looking stuff)
Is there anything you guys can tell me to ease my mind for the next 2 hours? Any ideas what might cause this? Or even if this is a red flag enough to take him to the ER?
Thanks from me and Lovelock!!
