Yesterday I heard Flynn vocalizing like he was fighting with someone so I went to him and he was sitting in the middle of the hallway with no other cats in sight. I picked him up to have a look at him and he made some more noise. That's not normal for him, he loves nothing more than to be picked up and carried around.
Following a hunch I put him down in a litterbox and he produced some very thin diarrhea.
I called the vet and we could come by right away.
The vet checked him very thoroughly but she said his belly felt and sounded normal. His temperature was normal. She gave us some paste for cats with diarrhea (leaves a protective lining in the bowels) and we went home.
Yesterday evening Flynn had some extremly noisy bowel movements, it sounded like he was blowing bubbles.
Last night I heard a cat vomit, don't know who it was but I guess it was Flynn.
This morning my fiancÃ[emoji]169[/emoji] was out of bed first, I asked him from under the covers how Flynn was doing. He replied that Flynn hadn't eaten yet but was sitting next to the water fountain. I immediately got out of bed and found a cat that almost hung his head in the water. He was acting lethargic.
I called my own vet practice but they said the vet wouldn't be in this morning. I called other vets but they were all doing surgery and wouldn't see us. I finally called our local "oddball" vet (does not work with the other local vets, has no computer, etc) and he told me to come by.
All the time I was calling vets Flynn was sitting by the water fountain. Now and then he took a sip but mostly he was just sitting there.
He examined Flynn, bladder was empty, belly was not swollen or hard. Flynn did have a fever (39,8 C = about 103 F). He got a shot of antibiotics and something to supress the fever. I got 5 days of Clavubactin pills to take home.
The vet couldn't explain to me why Flynn was glued to his water bowl, he insisted we should just wait and see what effect the antibiotics have.
My mind is still not at ease. Flynn seemed a little more alert when we got home, the first thing he did was go to the kitchen and eat something and he walked around a little bit afterwards.
Before we went to the vet he was just sitting there, cowering a little.
But since we got home I've seen him make an unusual amount of trips to the water fountain. I guess I'm just scared he has a problem with his kidneys because the vet did nothing to rule that out.
I will call my regular vet in about an hour (after lunch), just to make sure, but maybe anyone here has any ideas or experiences they want to share ?
