Call me crazy but I spent all afternoon with my cat, Artie, in the emergency Vet yesterday.
He has not been feeling well for about 2 weeks now.
Took him to the Vet then, cannot figue out what was wrong, but gave him an antibiotic just in cast..Thought it may be a urinary tract infection.
He seemed to be improving.
Thrusday morning was his last pill. He seemed kind of out of it Saturday morning, kind of hiding.
Yesterday, just as I was leaving the house, he howled, ran in a corner and vomiting all his food from the morning. He took 2 steps, howled again and vomiting more. He then got about 6 feet away, howled and vomited again. He never did that before. He also howled when I took him out side in the morning--I thought he wanted to go in.
He talks but never howls. This was like in pain.
Took him to e-Vet, (on Sunday, no one open)
They did blood tests, showed either early kidney failure or an obstruction. Did an ultrasound, and got a urine sample. They also gave him some fluids cuz he was dehydrated and it is not good for his kidneys. Sent him home with some meds to keep his pathway open. and gave him a shot for vomiting. On the way home,He peed and pooped in his carrier!
He ate like a pig when we got home! Good I thought--but he stunk really bad.. I tried cleaning him.
No pee last night.
Got up this morning and went to hug him. His entire back, including legs were soaking wet and smelt like pee. I tried to wash him--Ever try to give a cat a bath? by yourself?
He was acting strangely, thought it was because I washed him. No pee yet.
But he has been running to the liter box with full blow diarrhea!!
I absolutely have to go to work tomorrow. I took Friday off because of my shoulder--had an injection and could not work on Friday.
I have to run home and take him back to the Vet tonight.. I hope he will be ok during the day and that my house will be ok...
It smells like cat pee in here----never did before...I do not know what to do...
I am afraid/know that Artie is a very sick boy...
I do not know what to do..
He is such a sweet guy...my cuddle bug/buddie
May be my super can check on him during the day? She has a cat also..
If my dad was here I could say that I had to take the day off for him..but now.....they would not understand and I am already on shakey ground there. Did not even understand when I took 1/2 day off for my cousin's funeral..
Please wish me luck......and good thoughts---for my poor kitty..
