Good thing it wasnt Indian curries- or you have a pollock styled redecoration due to explosive diarrhea.It was Thai curries.
I get mad at myself when I think about it and, more importantly, I put my baby through Hell. Kitty is not allowed to eat any human food now and she knows it. Well, except for a couple tiny pieces of ham which she was ready to fight me over. I don't eat that in front of her anymore.
She seems to have lost weight recently because she's barely been eating as I try wet foods on her to find some she likes. She stopped eating her dry food, but is so picky and doesn't want to eat much of the wet food. I'm currently slowly transitioning her back to Petcurean Now Fresh, which she reacts to excitedly as if it's junk food. At least she'll be eating more of it in a few more days, but she also hasn't been eating much because my room has been so hot in the heat wave that was Los Angeles. The A/C should be fixed tomorrow.
That's what she had in her carrier. It made me so mad that the ER vet people just left her in her carrier sitting on top of her diarrhea all evening and night. I was so glad to take her home and give her a bath. I felt terrible for her.
I didn't know what to say back then. I expected them to take my cat out of her carrier and put her in a cage or kennel and put in an IV line that they said they would to give her fluids as soon as I left. I think they said they were putting her in the oxygen tank too, but can't recall if maybe that was the specialist. I have a really bad long-term memory problem. I was about to get angry because my cat was looking so miserable and she turned around in her carrier when she saw me so her butt was facing me. I think I could smell the diarrhea. I definitely did on the drive home. I wasn't sure if cleaning my cat up (and throwing away the soiled pad in her carrier) was too much to expect from the ER. I also really wanted to take my cat home and try to nurse her back to health and was afraid that ER vet would say no, they were keeping her for another day and night. Come to think of it, that ER vet is terrible. I left the business a bad review outlining everything. They have some good 5-star reviews but quite a lot of really bad reviews. That ER vet was really amused when she told me that when my cat had diarrhea, she looked really surprised. I did not think that was funny at all. What an awful vet who probably hates cats.

That sucks you had to go through that. I see we are both in LA. What part? Feel free to PM me if you don't want the world to know your city. Just curious! I am in San Gabriel.
My cat has the same issue right now- he won't eat much of his wet food, just the kibble. So I have to feed him Hartz bisque or stews to ensure he is getting enough water.She seems to have lost weight recently because she's barely been eating as I try wet foods on her to find some she likes.

Her pancreatitis attack was 3+ years ago. She recovered and regained her weight. Then on Petcurean Now Fresh, she became 1/2 lb too heavy according to her new vet. Then, she lost the extra 1/2 lb. I'm looking forward to her full transition back onto the Petcurean Now Fresh kibble. My cat is a tough one to feed a wet only diet. I don't think it's possible with her and the rescue shelter even told me she would only eat dry when I adopted her.
My god that would have left me mad with anger. The hygiene part, infection part- too many risks, and just general common sense not let a vulnerable, sick animal sit in their poop.
Blood work for the pancreatitis. Think they did an additional test. I have such a bad memory. It was a NASAL feeding tube. Not a neck feeding tube.
Dont worry- we assumed it was nasal.
Interesting- i just learned that can be done in cats. Nasal tube is temporary- the other two options (neck and stomach) can be left for weeks or months.
