Hi everyone...
my cat is sick. Her name is Callie, she's a short hair calico and she's about 6 years old. Her normal behaviour includes puking up food sometimes after eating, but she's always been like that. She also sometimes poops out of litter box in the basement normally.
But several days ago, she puked up some stomach bile (it was white-ish foam) and pooped in the basement. And on Monday night she puked more bile (white foam again) in several spots in the basement. I didn't think she was sick because when I fed her on Monday night she was laying on me and ran to the food to eat it as usual, so she had an appetite.
I was waiting to see if maybe she would get better. My mom gave her some hairball gel stuff yesterday to see if maybe she had a hairball. She didn't puke since 4pm on Tuesday but didn't seem to be eating or drinking. She's just been laying around and sleeping.
I thought she was getting better last night because she did eat something around 2AM and hadn't puked or anything. But this morning her bum has like... mucous on it? And she puked/had diarrhea (it looks like a liquid brown?) downstairs once. And she doesn't seem interested in food or water again. Also, she was laying on her back this morning and seemed to be in pain as her stomach kept contracting and making her back legs shake/shiver. my mom felt her and thinks her stomach is like... bloating or distended?
I'm really worried! I made a vet appointment for tomorrow at 4:45 but I'm just really worried about her health between now and then. Is there anything I can do to make sure she'll be okay until then? :'(
