Happy appy, snuggly, spunky, feisty, and anti-jinxes. However, Trix did have empty-tummy spit up both last night and this morning - and, in general, I've noticed an increase in empty-tummy spit up with her recently. It sounds odd, but it does coincide with when I started the b-complex, and I have a feeling that could be the culprit, even though I'm actually giving even less than the "recommended dosage". A couple years ago, she also had a negative reaction to B12 injections: the first one was fine, but right after we did the second one (a week later), she was acting loopy and dizzy and actually stumbled a bit, and then her appy went down the tubes for several days. So we never did B12 injections again. She IS very sensitive to certain things. I did a quick search and I did find that for people, b-complex can cause nausea and vomiting, so I'm sure the same is true for kitties, especially when they are already sensitive to certain things. So, for now, I'm holding off on the b-complex for a few days and will figure things out from there.

On top of that, civvie Petey barfed this morning, too. And he barfed on Saturday. Historically, he is a hairballer, but these didn't have any hair. I suppose he could be working on one. But, my nerves are very rattled now.

Tonight we are celebrating my great-niece's 2nd birthday. Unfortunately I know it's going to be more stressful than fun, because that's how things go in my family (my Mom gets very fussy and it results in chaos)...I need a break.

Oh well....my anxiety is very bad today, so I guess I'll be focusing on mindless busywork.

Prayers to all....

Oh Amy I'm sorry about Trixie's spit-up and Petey's barf:p I've never used b-complex but I too had a kitty that had a bad reaction to a B12 shot and was obviously not feeling well after it.
Hopefully the bday party tonight will turn out better than expected!
Have a good day Amy.
 
Just found this on a human naturopath site...interesting. I haven't been giving the b-complex on an empty stomach, but she already has stomach acid issues from the CKD, so it sounds like the b-complex could possibly be magnifying it....

Why do I feel sick when I take my Vitamin B12 tablet?
It is quite common that people experience nausea while taking any form of Vitamin B supplements, including Vitamin B12. This is because B Vitamins help to stimulate digestive secretions which can cause digestive acids to be released into the stomach resulting in symptoms of nausea. It is always recommended to take B Vitamins with food rather than on an empty stomach to reduce this problem.
 
Sorry about the empty tummy spit-up and Petey's barfing. When I read you said she was taking B-complex, I thought maybe she needs food on her stomach. Then I saw what you just posted. It sounds like that may be the issue. I hope the birthday party goes better than you think. Sending prayers. :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Morning Amy :coffee::coffee::coffee:
Kitteh barista Vanessa sends her best today.... :cat:

So sorry for the barf-us morning. We've had a few of those here too. :oops: Hope all is well now. Interesting on the B-12. I learn something everyday. BG's are looking good Miss Trixie. Keep up the good work!

Good vibes for the birthday party too. How fun for your great-niece. 2 yrs old! I hope all goes well, families can be trying at times. Have fun!

Enjoy your day today.
