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 ....

Aw thank you thank you thank you everyone! I've been so worried, he's my absolute world.

Vet said he's quite a character and is sitting is his kennel surveying all the goings on this morning which is just typical him.

I just miss him so much and want him home with his sister

Willing the day away and for positive blood results

I'll update when I hear more

So pleased to read this good news.

There is a growing Facebook group 'catsaffectedbyfelix'
I am usually allergic to such Facebook nonsense but my cat was ill / lethargic etc and I changed food 'just in case' ....

Some good newsSmile. Hope he's feeling much better today.

Thank you everyone for the support

YAYYYYY!!!!!!!

Did they say exactly what it was OP?

dancemom · 25/08/2021 14:10

No they think it's a reaction to his booster vaccine but they can't be sure. I've to contact my actual vet in a few days as they will get the results of all the bloods they took.

I'm just so glad he's home!

And filthy too which shows how ill he was, he hates to be dirty! I'll need to bath him later which won't be fun but for now he's had some treats and is sleeping under the table

I hope that it is all over for him OP and that they can make sure it does not happen when he has his shots again.

Oh dear oh dear. You might want to stock up on treats. And sleep with your eyes open

Fluffycloudland77 · 26/08/2021 20:47

Oh he’s pissed.

Why on earth did you think giving him anaphylaxis & then life saving vet intervention was a good idea? Must do better in future.

dancemom · 26/08/2021 21:43

I'm a terrible cat slave clearly!

Last night I slept on the living room floor to keep an eye on him. He woke up at 3am, took one look at me lying on the floor and promptly took himself off to my bedroom to sleep there

However he has eaten tonight - hurrah!

@dancemom

Such a beautiful boy. And thank you for sharing his photo.

Toddlerteaplease · 27/08/2021 00:16

He's gorgeous, his expression is priceless! You are in trouble OP.

nettie434 · 27/08/2021 00:39

Adding my good wishes for Boycat's continuing recovery, Dancemom. He is a very handsome chap. Hope you don't have to spend another night on the floor!

dancemom · 27/08/2021 07:56

He's so much better today thanks, ate breakfast, chased his sister and is now having a nap 💤

Oh, my! That face. And his poor little bandaged paw.

I hope that he continues to improve and that insurance covers it!
