I'm worried about my cat, Callie. First of all, tonight she threw up. This is the second time since last Monday (not yesterday but June 9th so a week ago) that she's thrown up. Both times she had taken a two or three licks of my cold milk when I poured it in my glass. Tonight I was at the pool when it happened but my mom was home with her.
My mom took Callie to the vet last Friday for her one year check up. The vet poked, prodded, listened to her heart/breathing with the stethascope, checked her eyes and all the other stuff that vet's do. She also got some blood drawn to do a blood test. Tonight, the vet called and talked with my mom. She said something about CBC in the blood work. Callie's white blood cells are a little low and her urine test showed that she may have an infection. She's spade and has been healthy since we've had her and we got her about four or five years ago. So the vet wants my mom to bring her back on Monday to get more blood work done to check it all out again. Now, I don't know if Callie might've been stressed about going to the vet and if that made the blood work and urine test show something unusual. She does not like her carrier and my mom told me she caught her by surprise. My mom quickly scooped Callie off my bed and put her in the carrier. On the way to the vet she moaned and did a deep cry. She was fine at the vet though when getting checked out. She's very people friendly and didn't seem to mind being checked out by the vet.
My mom went for a walk after dinner tonight. When I finished cleaning up the kitchen, I put some water in a little custard cup and held it for Callie to drink. She always has a dish out with fresh water in it for her to drink. I think that when she saw me put fresh water in the cup and the fact that I was holding it for her. She took quite a few licks of it and when I'm finished with this post I'm going to hold it one more time and try to get her to drink more. I think it might help her feel better. I hope that she's ok. My mom thinks that whatever it is, that it's probably in the early stages enough that we can get her medication if she needs it.
It makes me incredibly sad to see Callie not feeling well and throwing up because I let her drink milk. And I hope that the blood work comes back being ok. I love Callie so much - she's so loving and honestly is like my best friend. She comes running to comfort us when we are sad and/or not feeling well. And she loves being with us and being with us. I love her to death and I don't want her to be sick. It makes me so sad. I wish I could stay home with her tomorrow to take care of her and just keep her company. I hope she'll be ok. Well, it's getting kinda late. I want to go veg out in front of the tv a little before I call it a night. I hope you're doing well.
