Hi everyone, 8 days ago I moved with my felv+ cat Pixie into a new house
across town. Pixie seems to be adjusting well to her new environment (and
hasn't peed anywhere inappropriate so far, as she did at our old apt. while
we were packing up). She is, however, vomiting clear liquid (sometimes with
tiny yellow bits in it, maybe mucus?) every couple days, including last
night and this morning. I've also noticed her hiccuping occasionally in her
sleep.
A brief Google search has me freaked out about feline distemper and/or this
being the beginning of the end for my precious Pixie (who is about 2.5 y/o).
She's still eating and drinking normally, although I wasn't adding L-lysine
to her wet food as I normally do, just for the last few days while
unpacking, and I gave her Rescue Remedy on move day and following day only.
And she actually seems to be enjoying the new house (great views of a canal
with ducks, trees with birds) and her energy level is normal. She's also
sniffing every nook and cranny in this place with enthusiasm. I've got a
Feliway (Comfort Zone) diffuser plugged in too.
At first I thought she was just vomiting up Rescue Remedy (if that's even
normal...). Do you think her immune system was compromised by the move (and
the fact I wasn't giving her L-lysine)? Two indoor-outdoor cats lived in
this house until a couple weeks ago, and a neighbor's cat frequently appears
on the 2nd floor back terrace and it seems he left a turd there (either him
or one of the two previous cats). Pixie never goes out there but is allowed
to walk a few feet into the back garden when I'm out there. Is it possible
she's picked up a virus or bacterial infection left by these previous cats
or is breathing too much dust? Does she need to go to the vet?
Thanks! Any advice is certainly appreciated!
Giselle
