Happy Caturday to all the kitties, their moms, dads, caregivers, the mods, and helpers to us all!

 

I hope Bama Kitty clears the bounce today.

 

Stinks when they bounce high doesn't it? Come on Bama Kitty. Come down and give your Mom a good day. Roll Tide!

 

Is this a bounce or a boomerang?

 

I guess it could be both. Try not to get discouraged. He'll come back down. Bouncing is part of the process.

 

Sometime between AM +2 and + 4.5, Bama vomited what looks like his entire breakfast. I have not been able to catch a urine sample to check for ketones. Earlier I caught him in his litter box after he urinated and while he was straining unsuccessfully to poop. While I spotted the puke, I noticed some nice-sized poops in his litter box. I know some cats vomit after straining out a poop but to my knowledge Bama never has. He drank a little water when I offered it, sat in my lap, and purred a little. I wanted to wait a bit to offer food. Seems a little trouble attracts a little more.

 

Just now caught urine & ketones negative; gave 4 mg Ondansatron; will test & attempt feeding +6.5;

 

It sounds like it could be from straining to poop. I hope he feels better soon. Sending prayers.

 

Fed 1 oz. l/c + extra water after +6.5 test; seems to be feeling better; "licked the bowl clean" which is a good sign. Will continue to watch him. Will possibly attempt subq fluids later but I usually only do that when I can give him Gabapentin ahead of time to chill him a bit. I don't know about trying to subq without it and I am hesitant to give him the Gab liquid since it is so horrible tasting. Once he threw up about 30 minutes after I gave it when he didn't already have food in him.

Subq 150 mls @ AM +9
