Sick kitty log continued.

Erf, okay, Willow stopped throwing up several hours ago but still won't touch food and is very hunched over and loafing. She has had a few sips of water, which is extremely encouraging.

I am going to walk to the store and get her some trashy yummy cat food to put some antacid in and see if she eats a little. A problem with kidney-failure cats is that they get upset stomachs so don't want to eat, but having an empty stomach makes them more nauseated. So, trying to get her to eat is my next priority, though I don't want to force it and make her more sick. Trying to go gently here.

If she won't touch the food, I'll give her vet a call.

I'm glad she decided to do this on a holiday so I didn't have to call in sick to work because of her.

Sigh.

She is seeking out sunbeams and talking to me a little, which is very very good.

Oh poor kitty! =( As a suggestion for getting her to eat, when my cat was very old and in a similar situation, the vet told us to mix his regular food with plain spaghetti sauce. Sounds weird but it TOTALLY worked. He wouldn't touch anything else until we put the sauce on it.

that's so odd! I wonder why that works... I have one cat who would eat plain yogurt even when he's sick... Next time I'm going to try spaghetti sauce...

I hope it works for Willow too :\

Just be sure the sauce doesn't have onion powder in it. Toxic to cats. I might give it a shot, thank you!
