Boy cat is sick and at emergency vets

Got home from routine vet trip and he starts vomiting. Vomits over 10 times and then panting. Rush him to emergency vet hospital, by now he's vomited more and had the runs. Vet just called to say he's on oxygen but they are worried about his breathing and doing bloods. He's a house cat so can't have ingested anything. His sister is perfectly fine. I'm so worried. Sitting outside waiting for news (and praying insurance will cover this, it's over £500 already) please send positive thoughts ....

Positive thoughts from me, it’s horrible when they’re at the vets Flowers

Paw hold from here. Flowers

Thank you @TheLongRider

They think it's anaphylactic shock. They are keeping him in over night but they said it's 50/50

Sending positive vibes for your boy, you must be out of your mind with worry.

Fluffycloudland77 · 24/08/2021 22:11

I hope he pulls through. You couldn’t have known this would happen.

TooStressyTooMessy · 24/08/2021 22:12

Oh no. Sending best wishes.

dancemom · 24/08/2021 22:13

Thank you @Toddlerteaplease @Fluffycloudland77 and @userxx

I'm just praying he makes it through the night 🙏🏼

Hope boy cat makes a good recovery.

dancemom · 24/08/2021 22:15

Thank you @Iamacatslave

Willing him to not decline overnight

Big hugs @dancemom

And I don't want to worry you but it does sound like a toxic exposure - def no lilies/cleaning products/medications or anything else he could have accessed?
No changes to routine treatments for fleas/worms/food?
No recent car maintenance or decorating?

Thanks

@Veterinari he had just got his annual vaccination so they think it's possibly that.

OP posts:
dancemom · 24/08/2021 22:34

No to all of the above plus his sister is fine. Bets said they are more concerned with treating him currently and they can look into what caused it if he pulls through

Are you a vet @Veterinari ?

OP posts:
Toddlerteaplease · 24/08/2021 22:34

That would make sense, given you'd literally just been to the vet.

Want2beme · 24/08/2021 22:35

Poor wee thing. Fingers crossed he'll rally round & be home with you soonSmile

Good news from the vet, he’s much improved overnight. They want to run one more set of bloods because his clotting factor was elevated but if they come back okay then he can come home tonight!

Thank you everyone for your pawsitive thoughts, they definitely helped me get through the night.

His poor sister is wandering round looking for him so lots of cuddles and treats for her today and hopefully have both of them back together tonight

What a relief! Sending love and more pawsitivity ❤️❤️

mnistooaddictive · 25/08/2021 08:44

So glad it’s good news, hope he’s home soon.
