Hi all,
I just wanted to get your opinion on a situation. On Monday morning Benny (6yr, 20lb) threw up, and he threw up numerous times on Wednesday morning, so we took him to an emergency vet.
The vet gave him a shot to break his nausea cycle,
and some subcutaneous fluids. He had never had blood work done so I asked if they could do that too, just to rule out anything more serious. Benny is a fighter and does not like vet AT ALL. So they had to give him a little sedation. Poor guy was poked and prodded and man-handled but it was for his health.
We brought him home and he was still pretty out of it from the sedation. We gave him some boiled chicken and he ate quite a bit of it, and I think it helped perk him up a bit. He wasn’t snuggly or cuddly but he was purring when we would pet him.
Well Thursday morning he had a bit of dry food and some more chicken, he was going to the bathroom like normal but not drinking still- which I attributed from the subcutaneous fluids. Well all of Thursday he just kind of laid around on the floor of our bedroom, he’d come down occasionally to scratch on his scratcher but for the most part he just slept on our floor.
It’s now Friday morning at 3am and he’s still not drinking any water (from what I have seen) and just laying around on the ground. He will get up to use the litter box but will go right back to his spot. He doesn’t want to take any treat and just isn’t acting like himself.
Has anyone had experience like this after a vet visit? I’m sure it was pretty traumatizing for him. The doctor called and said his blood work came back fine but he had a few crystals in his bladder to monitor and maybe change his diet for.
