For the seasoned cat folks on here, I need to know whether to give JuneBug more time before toting her back in. She ate well after getting home and only started to slow down about 3am-ish (yeah, I know, weird feeding times but who knows when I can get these two adjusted if I ever can). They were all smaller meals and with some, I added in pumpkin.
She did well not vomiting...I think? but she still has regular loose poo in the box. I say "I think" since sometime between 8-10pm, one of the two of them horked up a big hairball with a little tummy acid but that could have been either of them. I was out cold since I was completely exhausted. I fed them around 11 which is their usual time and everything seemed fine.
There was another not great deposit in the box at the feeding near 3 and Junie had slowed down but did finish since I had been sprinkling on fortiflora to help her tummy.
Normally she pesters me about 5 or 6am wanting treats but she didn't get up. When I got up about 6:20, she was still lounging in the tree but did climb down and move to the bed. She didn't look comfortable but didn't throw up. She didn't ask for food and I didn't offer. I left for work about 7:10 and turned on the cameras when I got there where I saw that she'd moved back up to the tree. I figured she probably used the box but when I got home, along with the box being used (both pee and what was at one time squishy poo), there were also two small puddles of tummy acid. Since she was just climbing down from the tree when I came in, this had to happen sometime before 7:30am and there wasn't anything else until I got home about 11:30am.
I called the vet I went to yesterday since they said to call if she started vomiting again and all they could really tell me was to bring her back in for I guess more anti-nausea and/or adding some anti-diarrhea meds. Unfortunately, my neck is currently in spasm and it was hard enough driving home without really being able to turn my head. Emily has offered if I need that she'll drive us out there.
I'm wondering whether to wait a little longer to see if she starts feeling better? She did want food when I got home, so I took a little bit of one of their foods and mixed it with the pumpkin/ginger/turmeric blend that's for cats and again put some fortiflora on top. It was only about a tablespoon-ish and she ate about 2/3 of it. Currently she's back up in the top of the tree and sleeping. While she does seem uncomfortable and tired, I don't know if I'd classify it as "distress" so I don't know what I should do. I expect to have litterbox issues since I've been through the IBD battle before but the vomiting is what bothers me.
