Hi Giselle, Welcome to our group!
Like you, I read on the Internet that clear vomit is a symptom of panleukopenia, which can last in an environment at room temperature for a year! http://www.marvistavet.com/html/feline_distemper.html Is your kitty vaccinated for this disease? If not, I would take her in asap, just in case. Is she having diarrhea? I don't want to scare you, but because of the situation you described (new home with cats) and the fact that you just moved and your kitty is FeLV+, I would go ahead and take her in just to be safe. Please keep us posted on her progress Giselle. Prayers going out that this is nothing. :) Wendy "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has!" ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ ----- Original Message ---- From: G D <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, August 8, 2007 12:37:02 PM Subject: Clear vomit in new home 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!
