Well I feel terrible. Ever since I have had him CJ will vomit on occasion. I have always just cleaned it up. The first time, he had worms. Then he was sick. Then was the meds at the vet. Then the meds at the vet again. Then he gorged himself on cat grass and promptly threw that up. CJ ate shredded wheat out of my cereal bowl while I answered the phone, that came back up. And now three times in less than an hour tonight.
I have noticed he looked skinny latel, he has always been a really long and lean cat at 9.5 pounds, but I can tell that it seems his tummy kinda sinks in a bit. And He has been talking an awful lot lately (which is a LOT because he is a talker.)
I have also noticed some strong litterbox odor, but I thought that was just because I am still getting used to having two cats (we have three litterboxes, Big booda dome, little booda dome and a dish pan with high sides). Well the ones in the living room stunk and some runny stool was in it last Sat. I changed it. I took them to the bathtub and scrubbed them out really good with a scrub brush and hot water. I figured it was Gabby's since she had just gotten fixed and was told that between being spayed and all her shots that she could have soft stools.
He also has had a decreased intrest in food. I assumed again because this was because Gabby can be a bit grumpy and he was just waiting until she was done to eat. Yet again I assumed he went and ate after she left but I didnt watch him eat.
Well tonight when CJ started vomiting I put three and three together and I think he is ill. I am worried because he has had diharehha for over a week now and is vomiting and isnt really eating very much. I am such a bad mom for just realizing this.
I am going to take him to the animal hospital tomorrow morning. I just feel terrible for not putting it all together. Is there anything I can to tonight to make sure he is comfortable?
