Cat Chat Feline Forum

Yesterday her vomit had food in but this morning it was bile and hair . She's a short haired cat so the hair doesn't come out in a ball just loose ? Where as Tom has proper sausages !!! I have been giving her small amounts of chicken today and so far no vomit or diarrhoea . Thank you for the advice ...

Hello again , I wrote yesterday morning about kitty she had been very sick but just the once and had one bout of diarrhoea .

Thank you crewella , I sometimes think I shouldn't have cats as I get so upset at even the thought of them being ill . She really seems well eating like always .

His kidneys have been fine even through the bladder stones surgery and medication they gave him .
Can you mix foods like that ?

Hi kittycatkate , It does seem to me that every time I take my cat to vets they come home worse ... Tom went in for sickness and then went into renal failure after drugs nearly lost him . Now this with kitty her sprain to be given tramodol which we had to force down her and within two days she was i...

Hello again , I had Kitty at the vets to have her teeth taken out while she was under anasethic they gave her an X-ray to check lungs after her lung infection that happened after taking tramodol .

We took kitty back to vet yesterday she said kitty is improving slowly . She was given an antibiotic injection and I have to take her back next week for chest xray . Her chest was not as crackly as before . So that must mean that the antibiotics are working ? Please keeps paws and fingers crossed ! ...

My baby is home !!! She came home at 10 am been asleep on duvet on living room covered with blanket . Just looking up every now and then to see if we are here . I have put litter tray and food in living room so she doesn't have to move round too much . She still has the sprain in her leg and breathi...

Giving kitty her pain relief is proving awful .. Metacam fine added to food . Tramodol a nightmare ! Got a pill shooter it goes down but she froths at mouth really upsetting to see . Is that normal ? As a pain relief it must be working as she's moving around more practically runs after pill and if l...

Some good news , we saw our normal vet she said there was no need to rush X-ray she is confident it's a sprain and with strong medications , rest , ice the sprain should heal . I'm so happy I didn't have to put her through too much . Would like to say a massive thank you to you all for your help . X...
