Re: Need advice quick please
Hi Kerry, Yes, she's doing MUCH better. She did vomit again in the middle of the night, but it was a hairball. She is sleeping at the moment. I haven't gotten the labs back yet, but when I do I will post them so that you guys can comment.

Re: Need advice quick please
Terri, I hope she's feeling better by now. I had a cat get sick like this once, and by morning he was just better. I don't know what he could have eaten that made him sick, but that's all I could ever come up with. It went away as fast as it came. I hope that's all it is. tonya --- Terri Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks, Bonnie. We did discuss that. I don't have any plants that she can get to though.

Re: Need advice quick please
I ti s generally best to take food and water away (food for 24 hours and water for 12, I think) when they are vomiting uncontrollably like that, to let their system settle. Pink could mean blood, I guess, like an ulcer or something. I think I would take food and water away and if she is still vomiting in a few hours take her to an emergency vet. Most veterinary hospitals should have some sort of fund to help out, or at least be willing to do a payment plan if you explain the situation. Michelle
