Well, the stray went home and now Polly is sick.
No diarrhea, vomiting only. I have lysoled everything in the house, vacuumed thoroughly and put all her dishes through the dishwasher.
Every time she eats, she throws it back up. She is not eating too fast, or too much. I took her food away last night. She is very hungry and WANTS to eat. She is still drinking.
The stray, come to find out, had been fixed and was up to date on all its shots. I am well aware that it could have gotten ill while out and passed something on to Polly. (i wish I would have found this board before the stray came home. I would have quarantined her)
I have been reading about vomiting and noticed that there is a direct correlation between that and food allergies. She has never thrown up before with it, but I am thinking it could have just developed. It is more likely she got a bug from the kitten though.
My question is, I would like to feed her something mild when I get home from school this morning. I read about the chicken and rice...I have some boneless skinless chicken I could boil up. And I have brown, organic rice from whole foods. Is brown okay to feed her? I also have a BUNCH of cooked turkey. I would prefer cooking up the brown rice and chopping up some turkey, would this work as a mild meal?
I know to give her a very small amount. If she has trouble keeping that down, she will go to the vet today.
Thanks so much you guys.
