I took my cat to an emergency appointment at 2 am today as I was worried he had some kind of urinary blockage (he didn't). Hes extremely wriggly so in order for them to be able to do the blood test and get a urine sample they had to give him some injection which I believe was some kind of either anti anxiety thing or a mild sedation. This ofc made him quite groggy and wobbly.
He turned out to have fairly low potassium levels (due to ongoing diarrhea) but the vet said he was fine to go home.
He had been acting fine but hasnt slept for some reason? he doesnt seem to be in any pain but he regardless hasnt slept since 2 am. Hes closed his eyes a few times while in a pose hed generally sleep in but he keeps them ever so slightly open.
Is this normal or concerning? hes eating normally if not more than he generally does, and he peed just fine (still has diarrhea but we are treating that with probiotics)
Should I be concerned about the lack of sleep? its been 18 hours since hes last slept.
