My female cat pen pen was throwing up this this morning and looked very sick. It raised red flag when she failed jumping on a table and was not interested in her favorite treat. She is super athletic and she is crazy for Benito flake (usually come running from 2nd floor if she hears when I open the package). She likes to chew rubber band. Last time she accidentally ate half a rubber band, then threw up some and passed the rest. I was worried if she ate something, trying to throw it up but couldn’t.
I took her to the hospital for an emergency visit. They sedated her for an X-ray and didn’t find any issues. She was released very fast, about 1 hour. The vet was surprised that she came out of sedation very fast and discharged her after giving her some anti nausea medication.
But once she got home, she walked wobbly and cannot land on her feet if she jumps. She gave up after a few tries and has been since napping for about 6 hours. She hasn’t eaten anything today except a few Benito flakes I gave her after the vet visit.
Now I’m getting worried and blame myself that I put her through all this for nothing. After some more research after the vet visit, I also read that sedation is not necessary for X-ray.
I actually liked the vet and was planning to switch to them (the vet in my town is super expensive, always booked 1 month away, and not super helpful). But now I’m not sure…
Do you know if sedation is a common procedure for x-ray? And how long does it take for my cat to return to normal?
