Diarrhea Not Eating

[Burts]

Today Allie has diarrhea, she’s been in the pan 5 times and mostly hardly nothing comes out just a little diarrhea...

She also threw up today twice and isn’t eating or drinking...I have given her a pro biodic this morning...

She had a bigger bowel movement yesterday and was mostly solid with a little soft wet stuff....

Anything I can do, is this a stuck hairball? She’s indoor and had normal meals prior...

You will need to handfeed her - she can't afford to lose any more hydration and she needs nutrients to fight whatever she has.

Try a pate' style food on a spoon or popsicle stick. This sounds like more than a hairball - can you talk to your vet?

Yea i’ll call vet tomorrow, maybe i should go to the store and buy baby food?

 

[Furballsmom]

That's a great idea - ham flavored, beef, chicken, turkey...

Gerber Stage 2/Sitter is the one you'll be looking for if you're in the US, there are a couple other brands as well, just be sure there aren't any onions or garlic

 

[Burts]

ok, i’m going now to foodland

 

[Burts]

I syringe some in her mouth, went on her mane, i ended up putting it on her paws....I hope this gets out of her system, I hate going to the vet, so many times this year with the other one.... I dont know what caused this, maybe she ate a lizard, she was stalking something in the bathroom last night for hours...

She did eat some canned last night too, wonder if it was that

 

[Burts]

she just threw up the baby food, sigh i’m worried

 

[silkenpaw]

Try to at least get some water in her before the morning. How does she look? Well or sick?

 

[Burts]

I gave her water from a syringe, I pray she improves come morning, poor allie...

Well low and behold she’s drinking from her fountain as i type this

 

[MissClouseau]

If I were you I would try boiled chicken (breast), served warm. Not hot, not cold. Leave some of the boiling water into the bowl too for some more hydration.

How are things?

It could have been whatever this was that upset her tummy and caused the vomiting, but the runny poop is a concern.

 

[silkenpaw]

So glad she’s drinking, yay!

 

[Burts]

Waiting for the vet to open, she threw up little liquid this morning twice, went to the litterpan in a bm position, stomach contractions but nothing comes out..She frequents the pan but nothing comes out...Still not eating, gave her probiotic on her paw

Appointment in a hour, happy they had morning openings, wish Allie Luck she’s giving me anxiety worrying about my white tornado

 

[Furballsmom]

oh, she's gorgeous!!!

Let us know what they say,

 

[Furballsmom]

wow, that's quite the cat tree arrangement!

How are things?

 

[Burts]

She’s still not eating, I gave her some baby food just now via syringe, hoping she eats dinner..

Vet visit was $420 big ones, x-ray, blood, sub q fluids with anti nausea, took home anti diarrhea meds

I’m hesitant on the metronidazole if it takes away appetite

 

[Burts]

She ate a little on her own this’s morning, i have not administered the metronidazole
