I had to bring Snickers to the emergency vet yesterday!
She had been vomiting for almost three days about 7 times each day. I withheld food on the advice of the vet, but she continued to vomit, only since she didn't have any food in her stomach, she was just vomiting white foamy liquid. And then yesterday morning the white liquid had a reddish tint, so I brought her to the emergency room. Poor baby! The vet at the emergency room told us we should admit her into the hospital so she wouldn't get dehydrated, so that's what we did. (It was so people-like at the emergency room!)
The good news is that when the vet called with an update yesterday afternoon, she said that the x-rays didn't show any obstructions and the bloodwork seemed normal. I guess the bad news is that we don't know and may not know what caused this.
Even though Snickers has just been gone for a day, it's been so weird without her. I'm so use to having her around that I'm doing things out of habit. For example, she usually is waiting by the door when I come home, so I always open the door really slowly so as not to hit her. So, of course yesterday when I got home from the emergency room, I opened the door slowly, not even thinking, and my fiancee made fun of me since, of course, Snickers wasn't there. And then she always likes to follow me to the bathroom and wait outside the bathroom. So this morning after I went to the bathroom, I opened the bathroom door and was expecting to see her waiting outside of it, and for a split second when she wasn't there almost called her, saying, "where's kitty?" But then I remembered, "oh yeah, she's at the vet." It's funny how ingrained our pets become in our lives.
Anyway, I'm rambling, but I just really miss her and am worried about her, so I probably just needed to vent. Hopefully, I'll be able to bring her home today and everything will turn out fine.
Anyone else have similar experiences like this where everything turned out fine?
