Update: the vet thinks it's okay to wait until this evening for an appointment. They're giving her a Cerenia injection and then some bland food to start her on after she fasts for 12 hours.
I also realized that the new cleaning product I started using has lemon and lemongrass oils, which are toxic to cats and can cause GI issues. I used it to clean the bathroom Saturday afternoon, and I wonder if she licked some of it. I feel terrible -- I normally check all the ingredients on a...
