Hi TCS! Was wondering if someone had experience/thoughts on our Mika's (7 y/o female, believed Turkish Angora or Norwegian forest cat) behavior as of this morning and might be kind enough to share.
Here's a full timeline (all times Pacific time):
7/30 - Friday
3pm: Mika taken to the vet for a recent increase in vomiting hairballs, wet food, whole pieces of dry food. She was given (1) Cerenia injection, and (2) blood panel, results returned with no signs of concern. Prescribed with ½ a teaspoon of Laxatone per day (anti-hairball) and ½ a tablet of Cerenia per day (anti-nausea).
7/31 - Saturday
~9am: tried getting Mika to eat ½ of a Cerenia tablet by putting it in her mouth and rubbing her throat. Mika spit it out and began spitting up, the spit was somewhat thick and foamy with bubbles.
9:15-9:30: put ¼ teaspoon of Laxatone on Mika’s paws, she licked it off within 30 minutes.
10:30am: put ¼ teaspoon of Laxatone on Mika’s paws, she licked it off within 30 minutes.
8/1 - Sunday AM
Hid ½ of a Cerenia tablet in Mika’s wet food, which is routinely crushed into softer pieces. Mika only ate the parts of her wet food that didn’t touch the medicine, continued eating some dry food and treats. Drinking wasn’t closely monitored.
Put 1/2 teaspoon of Laxatone on Mika’s paws in the morning, licked off.
8/2 - Monday
8:00-8:30am: crushed 1/2 of a Cerenia pill into a powder and put in Mika’s wet food. She was completely disinterested and only sniffed a bit before leaving. Mika hasn’t eaten any wet food, dry food, or treats. Also hasn’t drunk any water.
For around 15-30 minutes, we saw Mika continuously leaving her mouth open for 5-10 seconds at a time before closing it again and licking her lips (pic attached). Aside from this behavior, she seems to be breathing normally. This open-mouth behavior has also since subsided.
Overall, her energy levels are quite low and seems to want her privacy (ie. sleeping, sitting in corners, etc).
TLDR: after taking prescribed Cerenia pills, Mika's completely lost her appetite, won't drink water, and is a lot more lethargic than usual.
Thanks so much in advance.
