Sierra has done well since her last vomitting episode. She ate a bit of her kitty grass and has eaten a nice 2 oz meal and is feeling well. It's just so odd that she'll vomit all over the place with one meal, and then tolerate the next quite well?
Thank you, guys, for all of your support, clever ideas and sweet wishes!
Hey Steph
Just coming by to visit and check up. I hope you and Sierra are feeling better today. All my love..
Sending My Love and Best Wishes to You and Sierra

Dear Stephanie --
I just discovered this thead and becuse of the six missing months don't really understand your sweet Sierra's problems. Did she just freak out so much at the vet's that her tests come back abnormal?
That vet you took her to sounds like a terrible person no matter how well trained she is. I agree that when you calm down, she needs to know how awful she was or how will she ever change? It would be best though if she heard it from a "higher-up" if there's one you can write to.
I've had cats that bite, and all the vet did was write "BITES" in red letters on her chart. It looked pretty funny when she was 18 and barely had any teeth left!
Last time my high-strung foster kitty, Princess went to the vet she almost bit me when he tried to take her blood sample and he put a tough nylon muzzle on her for a few moments. He always lets me hold the kitties, and my really nervous cat, the one that always pees in the carrier, he treats in the carrier.
I guess what I'm saying is a good person is a kind vet and will find a way to treat his patients without stressing them more than the pain of the needles, etc. already does.
You sound like me too, that when your get overwhelmed by your emotions you can't think straight. I think that's what makes me a sensitive and loving person for my little cats, and probably true for you too.
You are certainly the most wonderful protector Sierra could have and I know she appreciates you, too. A less sensitive person might not be able to appreciate such a sensitive little girl.
Please post what happened to Sierra at her specialist, so I can catch up.

Sierra's tummy has felt much better, she has only had one episode of vomitting since my previous message, and that was the next day. Thank you, every one of our friends, for all of your prayers, sweet messages, and checking in on us! You guys are the greatest!
She has been eating quite well, and just last night had the cutest running streak from one end of the house to the other, back and forth and back and forth!
Awwww poor Sierras tummy!
I'm pleased she feels a lot better now though!

Thank you, Susan, yes, Sierra is feeling much better now!
She's my sweet little silly baby, Chris!

Stephanie, aside from feeling wonderfully fat from your "Super Cookies" -- it occurred to me that would Sierra have an undetected food allergy?

Thank you for that wonderful suggestion, E, that is definately something to carefully consider.
Well, I was reading on Yahoo about cats' ability to develop food allergies especially as they age. I belong to Yahoo Cats. Maybe this would be of interest to you??
>>>>>Food allergies develop to foods that the cat has been eating, so it isn't unusual for them to appear despite a consistent diet. We don't see food allergies very often and I can't say how fast they come on, from experience. It often helps to use a single antigen (one protein source) diet, no matter what the cause of intestinal inflammation is.

I'm happy that you and Sierra are feeling so much better. I love it too when one of my cats gets frisky and starts startling the heck out of their humans. We just back up and wait for the "attack" to pass!
Keep well, you guys.

Aw it's so cute to hear about Sierras frisky little run!

Haven't updated my baby girl's thread in a while because she's been feeling so great! Sierra has been active, just like a kitten, was eating really well and went a while without vomitting. The past week, however, her tummy has been bothering her more. She has had several vomitting episodes. She wasn't feeling well today, didn't feel like playing, just wanted to cuddle and sleep. Tonight before work, she threw up her dinner, but after we spent a while cuddling up, she felt better and wanted something to eat. Then, she threw that up, too.
A little while later, she was feeling better and playing. That's the only reason I didn't call in to work. I left her dry food in her treat ball, and she was happily batting that around the bedroom when I left. She also sneezed twice yesterday, but that is probably unrelated. She has been going potty normally and drinking plenty of water, but it hurts my heart so much when she gets sick.
I'm here for a 12 hour shift, 7 hours to go, and am longing to be home with my sweet baby.
If Sierra isn't feeling better tomorrow night, I may just have to come down with something (cough, cough).

Oh, no.
I hope it'll pass soon. Poor Sierra.
Oh no! Sorry her tummy's been bothering her... poor baby! I hope she feels better, especially so that you don't have to "come down with something"! Kisses to Sierra for me!
