Cat help!

[ronnykmarshall]

Last night Cosmo barfed a lot. This morning his nose is drippin'. He's still eating, running around chasing Ricco, but I'm concerned.

We are taking him in to the vet today.

One thing that might be a factor, with the remodel there is a lot saw dust in one of the bedrooms that is being done and the cats have been playing in there a lot.

Any thoughts?

1. Just get the cat to the vet.

DUers are smart, but this is a vet problem.

2. The fun part will be getting him in the cat carry.

5. Easy: Wrap a towel around the cat and slide him in.

But don't cover his face! Just wrap him like an eggroll.

7. That's an idea.

He is kinda egg roll shape!

3. sounds like a normal

histamine reaction to the sawdust. post-nasal drip will cause cats to vomit; if the discharge is clear, it indicates no bacterial infection.

won't hurt to take him in to get ck'd, though.

4. It is clear.

But I want to take him in any.

I'll probably end up with the cat getting this too.

9. if you can afford to

by all means take him in. worth the peace of mind to you, if nothing else.

& give that boy a smooch from jukes!:*

8. Thanks

I just worry about my babies. After Mickey died, I freak anytime they act out of the norm.

10. You've gotten good advice here, Ronny

However, some cats just barf a lot; case in point, my Hepburn. He throws up almost every day and I've taken him to specialists about it (he's now 12-1/2). After about $300 or so, the doctor finally told me, "Some cats just vomit frequently." I just had to share that; as a devoted cat person, I thought you'd appreciate it.;)

Lil' Cosmo should be seen by a vet as soon as you can get him in. Keep us posted and good luck! :hi:
