Ember suddenly isn't doing well. I woke up this morning to hear her
in her box. There was a moist bm awaiting me, but nothing odd. Not
long after that, she went to the box again, and this time, it was
obvious that she had diarrhea. I cleaned her up a bit. Not long after
that, she threw up a small hair ball, and then a bit more. It was
pretty much just bile and fur. I stayed home from work to watch her.
She's gone to the box one or two more times, but I can't tell what's
actually come out. I fed her some yogurt, which she ate with her
normal appetite. After a nap, she got up and threw some of that up,
too. This really alarmed me.
Ember had an extra dose of interferon alpha last night (we
accidentally did six days in a row instead of the normal five days),
but I wouldn't think an extra 1cc of that would cause this problem.
I'm thinking it's the Advantage dose we put on her Tuesday night. I
noticed that her neck fur was back to normal this morning (not crusty
from the application), so it sure seems like she's been poisoned,
hopefully in a very mild way, if at all. We're going to the vet, but
I just don't know what she can do. Since Ember's felv+, I really want
to keep all the stress off of her that I can. I don't see any way
around going to the vet, though.
I ask your prayers for Ember, that she will get over this easily and
feel better tomorrow, and that this will not cause any problems in
her overall health.
Thank you,
Lance
