Vomiting And Diarrhea- No Other Symptoms

[lavishsqualor]

I agree that tomorrow is perfectly reasonable. Please let us know what they say.

Sorry this is happening at a bad time. My cat was sick over Christmas too, I know what it’s like when your vet is closed. If your regular vet isn’t around tomorrow try googling vets close to you that are open on holidays. I was able to find a couple that I didn’t know had holiday hours and was able to avoid the emergency. Hopefully you can find something too.

Charlie’s doing a lot better this morning! No vomit overnight. He did have a very small amount of diarrhea, but not nearly as much as yesterday. He’s eating his food, and his energy level seems good. He’s running around and scratching his post. Should I still take him into the vet? I would be willing to, if you think it’s still necessary.

If he yas been able to reatinbfood in his stomach for longer than three hours, I think he is safe now

Phew! That’s great news to hear! Hopefully he is able to keep his breakfast down! I’ll still keep a close eye on him.

 

[Alejandra Rico]

I'll be here every now and then today (lots of cooking and some final cleaning to do), to check your updates on his state

I have the feeling that he will be just fine

 

[abyeb]

Charlie is still doing well!

I just saw this thread, abyeb!
I hope Charlie keeps on feeling better.

Within an hour of eating his lunch, Charlie threw up again and had another bout of diarrhea. I’m taking him into the emergency vet now.

 

[Alejandra Rico]

God, that is bad luck, hevwas doing so well

Keep us updated, please

 

[Neo_23]

I hope he is ok.

They are performing an abdominal radiograph to check for an obstruction. They will also test for pancreatitis and run blood work. I will keep you updated. Thank you, everyone, for your support.

 

[Neo_23]

Yes, please keep us updated. Sending good vibes your way.

 

[Alejandra Rico]

We are all with you, abyeb , hold on

 

[abyeb]

Sorry for the delay; it took a while to get the test results back. Charlie is negative for pancreatitis, and there was nothing clear on the radiograph, but they sent it off to a radiologist just to be sure. They said that right now they’re thinking it’s gastroenteritis. That’s all the information I have for now, I’ll update back when I learn more.

That is what I thought would be the most likely cause, and the main reason I thought about electrolites yesterday, but Charlie seems to be quite strong as he had no signs of dehydration last night. That is good, hope he will be back to his normal self in a few days

 

[PushPurrCatPaws]

abyeb, did they also do a urinalysis?


Poor Charlie!

Vomiting, diarrhea, not eating or drinking can start a cat down the road to dehydration. You can almost count on mild dehydration when those are present... it's the moderate to severe dehydration that really starts in when you begin seeing the more prominent signs/symptoms of dehydration. It's really good Charlie got to the vet to be checked out!

Still waiting on the radiologist’s report...

PushPurrCatPaws , no they didn’t run a urinalysis. They didn’t mention that as a possible test to do either.
