Kitty is throwing up

Hi...just catching up here. That much vomiting is concerning. Things like dehydration can happen quickly, but you also do not know if something is causing a blockage that could potentially be a really big issue beyond the blood glucose levels.
I would take her to an ER and let them assess it and go from there.

If she is blocked, unfortunately you may make it worse by trying to feed her.

I am sorry to come in, unintroduced like this here, but am so concerned for your baby.
My name is Kimmee and my cat Abby was diabetic, diagnosed in 2006 when I found this board.
I have been on this board for many years and have rarely seen a cat vomit like this.

Please let us know how it goes at the ER and do let them know how much, and how long she has been vommitting.
 
I really think you need to have her seen. Looking at your SS history and seeing the DKA in March and the recent antibiotics and concerns over feeling punky,loose stols etc, and now this.... this worries me.
 
Wait, she had a pretty serious dental with a bone infection & bone graft 5 days ago?? I'd definitely take her in to be seen to make sure anything else isn't causing this, or maybe switch antibiotics and/or pain meds.. but leave that up to a vet to determine!
 
Please also tell vet about spraying with a fungicide and tell them what is was?
if kitty has access to outside and has been feeling punky, chances are she has already injested that stuff.

really hope you are on way to ER and will come back and let us know how things are.

I just saw this but I agree to take her in and I see where you are, good luck Kim and Kitty, my prayers are with you, as always. Please let us know when you know.

Just tuning in... sending good thoughts & prayers that Kitty is feeling better soon! It sounds like you are off already, but I wouldn't be too worried about her going low - I'm not sure how far you are from shot time, but the #s don't worry me much in reading through the thread. The vomiting is more concerning, hopefully the vets can give her a shot to help settle her tummy. Could be from the A/Bs, I know from my own experience they can really do a number on you.

Anyhow, hope all is well soon in Cool Kitty land!!!! :YMHUG:
 
I hope tonight turns out to be uneventful for you guys. If all else fails, go to the baby isle in a drug store and get a needless syringe so you can feed some watered down wet food. A 1/4 or 1/2 tablet of pepcid will bring down the nausea, but for tonight she might need an injectable med to bring down the nausea level.

The antibiotic she is on now is probably what is causing all the issues. Tomorrow you will probably need to talk to the vet that did the dental about switching to a different one.

prayers and thoughts with you both!
 
Hi Kim & Miss Super Cool Toothless Kitty,

I dropped by to check on my PZI peeps and kits and am so sad to see you guys have had quite a rough evening. You made the right call to take her in so they can give her some Cerenia or Anzemet to stop the vomiting. Sure hope they let you take home some buprenex for the pain, no kitty should have to go through 3 tooth extractions and a bone graft without opiates.

Sending furry prayers and whisker kisses to Miss Kitty from noir brother Harley, and a big hug to you (((((((Kim)))))))
 
She did have pain meds the first few days I think? My guess is that the vet is thinking after the 1st few days they don't need pain meds anymore - I had a specialist discuss this with me a few years ago and he said they really don't know how long they need the meds for - they usually give them for up to 4 or 5 days after major surgery, but the thinking is after the first 3 days or so they may not really need them, it's just kind of a perk at that point.

Just to defend the vet - not sure if that is in order, but several people have mentioned the lack of pain meds so I just wanted to give the vets the benefit of the doubt on this one!!! She may not actually need the pain meds at this point (though me being a chicken I like to throw stuff like that at them if there is any question, heck why not, as long as there aren't big side effects).

Anyhow... sorry if that is too off point, I just didn't want anyone following along to think she got sent home from the dental with no pain meds at all... (If I understood the whole thing right)
 
Thanks for pointing that out Joanna, I thought I'd read Kim's posts closely, but must have missed that part about having pain meds for the first 3 days. Thank God, that's much better. Didn't mean to confuse the issue. I'm with you - when I ask for pain meds for Harley I always ask for more than I think we'll need so we have extra on hand. :idea:
