My 11-year old cat is very anxious and gets very upset and scared going to the vet and is usually given sedatives or medication to help her relax for regular vet visits, however I try to limit the vet visits as much as possible for only when she needs them because of this. Last weekend she hit her nose pretty hard while running around and was bleeding, so I brought her to the emergency vet (my usual vet was not available). They checked her out and said she looked totally fine aside from the cut and nosebleed and should recover well.
Her injury seems to be healing, however over the past three days she has thrown up twice and has loose stools. It's hard to tell if this is a result of stress from the visit or something else (because of long wait times/Covid, she was there for about 6 hours) and I don't want to exacerbate the problem by taking her to the vet again if thats what's causing the problem in the first case. It's also super stressful due to Covid because I can't go into the vet with her, which I know will increase her stress. Does anyone else have experience with this kind of issue? I tend to have a lot of anxiety about her health and just want to make sure I'm doing what's best for her!
