My cat Joey is a 1 yr old neutered male.
In the past, he has gone through a couple spells where he would throw up for a couple days every time he ate, but it always got better without medical attention and he continued eating.
Tuesday I walked into the kitchen to find an ibuprofen bottle open on the floor and pills spread out. Toby & Billy were playing with the pills and Joey was just walking around the kitchen. Joey doesn't love dry food but eats it, he LOVES wet food, and refuses dry treats...so I don't think he ate any pills. If anyone would have, toby/billy would as those two like to eat EVERYTHING....
Anyways, Wednesday morning I woke up to find a couple puke piles in the house. THroughout the day I found about 4 more. I finally realized it was Joey on Wednesday night when he threw up infront of me. By Thursday morning I found 4-5 more throughout the house. Thursday morning at wet food time, Joey refused to eat. I put him in the bathroom with food and water but he refused to eat except a small nibble of dry food that he ended up throwing up. Thursday evening we bought plain meat baby food and syringe fed him about 1/2 a jar which he lapped up like crazy. He ended up finishing about 1/4 of the jar himself when we put it in a bowl. Friday morning we offer him more babyfood or wetfood and he refuses both.
I had to force two syringes of food into his mouth, then locked him in the bathroom with more babyfood, dry food and water and a litter box. He peed in the box, a normal pee w/ no issues.
I just gave him another 3 syringes of food and he threw it up within 20 minutes. I called a vet and they couldn't get me a set appt that I could make it to but said if I do a walk in they will still see my cat it just might be around other appts and I might wait a few extra which is fine with me.
At this point I am freaking out and have been crying all morning about my poor cat. Joey is my absolute favorite cat and since the day I got him when he was 6 weeks old we have bonded like crazy. He follows me around, lays with me, sleeps with me, and just always wants to be around me. Except right now, he is just sleepingon the floor near me and my heart is breaking that he is sick and I can't help him.
I was thinking of having my husband stop and get some more baby food, canned chicken, canned tuna and try some more food around 2 when hubby gets home. Is this a good idea? Any suggestions of anything else I can try until I get to the vet tonight around 530?
Thanks! Sorry my post is long, I am just scared!
