My 7-month-old cat Fenway was spayed last Wednesday. She seemed to be doing great afterward until Thursday night, I noticed that her suture had opened. So I took her into the vet on Friday morning, and they put in staples to close it and gave her some Clavamox pills. Later that night, she started throwing up. I figured it was a reaction to the Clavamox, so I took her back in on Saturday, and they gave her an injection of Convenia antibiotic instead, plus some subcutaneous liquid as a precaution.
However, she continued throwing up (when she would even eat, which was very seldom and very little) and had bad diarrhea. I took her into the vet at PetSmart on Sunday, and they gave me some anti-nausea liquid and a/d food to give her. But she threw up the second dose immediately after I gave it to her; same with the third. I've also tried giving her Pepcid, but that hasn't helped either. She won't touch food now. She's going back to the vet this afternoon -- fifth visit in six days for my poor baby!
I'm terrified. If I had known the injectable antibiotic was so new, I wouldn't have had them give it to her. Now there's no way to get it out of her system until it leaves naturally, and I'm afraid that will be too late. She can't not eat that long! I'm beating myself up and feel like I've really hurt -- or worse -- a previously wonderfully healthy cat. She was just perfect, and now she's all messed up, and I worry she'll never be right again. Any suggestions at all???
