Please send purrayers for Mittens. I am taking her to the vet. Hopefully, I can get in this morning. She has had a stomach problem on and off for the past 8 months, but it always has gotten better, until 6 days ago. Her other vet said "irritable bowel." I worry now it is more than that. She doesn't seem to keep food down (when she does eat) and isn't using her litter box (pain?) She spends 98% of her time sleeping in the closet. I will update, as soon as I know something. Thanks.**UPDATE* 11:00 AM....I had to leave Mittens at the vet for blood work and possible other tests. They will call me later on today and I will let you know the results. Please keep her in your thoughts.
**UPDATE* 1:00 PM....Blood work looks good! Possible just a food allergy. Keeping her overnight and rehydrating her, giving penicillin and another antibiotic, change in diet. Yeah!!! Thanks for all the purrayers!!!

Oh we'll start purraying for her right now soon as we finish posting. Mini's got irritable bowel and sometimes she's like that. We hope it's nothin worse, that's icky enough. Our V-E-T gave Mini some medycine for her sicky tummy so she doesn't throw up so much and it helps.
ReplyDeleteWe love you Mittens!

We'll all be purraying for you to get all better. We have a furrend named Jade who had similar problems for a couple months. After lots of tests, the Vet said it's just irritable bowel syndrome and now the only thing she can eat is Purina DM, but she has no more problems. We sure hope it's something simple like that in your case too!
ReplyDeleteOhh, sorry to hear that Mittens is not so well. Hopefully the v-e-ts will be able to find her the right medicine to make her feel better again soon.
ReplyDeletewe is still purraying furry hard for our bestest furriend Mittens.
ReplyDeleteWe is still purraying furry hard for our furriend Mittens too!!!
ReplyDeleteFlumpy, Meepsie, Shep the Dog and Mumma are all praying for you, Miss Mittens. We even asked our Calico Cousins, Patches and Marbles to join in! If there is anything stronger than kitty prayers, it is calico kitty prayers.
ReplyDeleteAll paws are crossed for you, Miss Mittens, and your sisfurs and the CalicoMom!
What kind of food has she been eating? Has the allergy just developed or was it always there? Is there an infection that's causing her to not use her box?
ReplyDeleteWe'll keep you in our thoughts.

Oh, Mittens, please be well. I hopes it's sumfing sorta easy to take care of. Bonnie got sick a month afer I came cuz of stress - new cat, strangers, new cat, famly visiting, new cat. Stress is hard on us puddins.
ReplyDeleteoh, mittens! glad to see there is good news from the vet about the blood work, and that you will be all plumped up and ready to go home tomorrow. what a shockingly tough couple months this has been for you--wouldn't be s'prised if it were stress-related.
ReplyDeletepurrs & sandpaper kisses to ALL you girls!!

Yep, stress will upset a kitty's delicate balance and sense of order quite throughlly. But she has her momma "upright" again, and hopefuly is on the mend now. What about the litterbox issue? Or was that just because nothing in = nothing out? Will she have to have presctiption food? Shaggy is back on his obesity food (purina OM). Love her up real good and tell her we were very concerned all day! sss & mom
ReplyDeleteDearest Mittens. I hopes you get better soon. It is not good if the tummy is bad.
