Morning all,
Lou's having a wonderful start to the day, and I hope it can continue.
In more worrisome news, my civvie Bella, is vomiting today. She 10-11 years old. She over-grooms (she has OCD with it), and so she throws up hairballs relatively frequently. Monday evening she threw up a bit of white foam prior to PMPS. Although she's never done that before, I'm not super worried, as Caleb forgot to feed them their last meal before the 2-hour mark. This morning; however, she's thrown up 7 times and I've been up for 1.5 hours. She threw up 4 times in the first 30-40 minutes alone. The first bit was clearish mucusy vomit. The second was white foam. She refused to eat, which is not really like her (there's a reason I call her my hoover). She threw up twice more before I finally goaded her into eating with some Parmesan on her food. She only ate a few bites. She was fine for a while, jumping up on her cat tree, wanting attention, but I notice she's darting her tongue out of her mouth. She's not doing the full mouth lip licking, like after she eats. But just darting her tongue out and possibly swallowing more frequently. She's okay for a while, and then she goes off to the "kid's room" and throws up 3 times in quick succession. I can't seem to find a hairball and I can't tell/don't know if she's having issues in the litterbox. I just saw her at the water bowl, which is also a rare occurrence. I don't know what's going on. Is it possible there's a hairball stuck somewhere and she'll be fine on her own? Other than not eating, she's acting normally, if a bit more lovey dovey than normal. Regardless, I do want to get her in to the vet for a checkup. She hasn't been in over a year (since before Lou's diagnosis). I think I just need to know if I should get her in ASAP or make an appointment when they have availability. Thoughts?????
Thanks in advance!!
