Touch wood Smartie is now fine - i got someone to check on him yesterday as i was out from 8am till 5pm and he has been fine , cuddles as normal last night and this morning.
I got 2 bags of food and 6 bags of cat litter yesterday , hopefully will last till the next cat show at Doncaster now.
They also got a couple of cat nip toys too and some Almo Nature- which was given to them last night and still there this morning !!!
So pleased he is ok now -he has enough troubles as it is and tablets !

Smartie was a bit "off" again last night and this morning as he didn''t jump on me when the alarm went off- he was definately not himself again -so we have been back to the vets again !!!
He has had another 2 long lasting injections - he howled all the way there and back - came home and he ate some Hills i/d , went outside and is laying on his back sunning himself !!! Does he loook ill or seem it ?? NO ! not at all !!!- Talk about keep you on your toes !

Hope he is better today

Bazsmum · « **Reply #21 on:** July 10, 2009, 07:10:58 AM »

So glad Smartie is on the mend!

bunglycat · « **Reply #20 on:** July 10, 2009, 01:42:03 AM »

No, he isn''t hunched up -he just keeps "chewing" - its like a cow chewing cud

He is fine in himself .

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #19 on:** July 10, 2009, 00:24:14 AM »

cats nearly always sit hunched up if they have a belly ache, so I would be inclined to go more by that

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #18 on:** July 10, 2009, 00:20:27 AM »

Its hard not to worry but I am sure he is going to be fine

bunglycat · « **Reply #17 on:** July 10, 2009, 00:06:02 AM »

Smartie has been fine since about an hour after coming back from the vets yesterday , tonight he was playing with a toy mouse and throwing it round the kitchen.
I didn''t take him back today -but about an hour ago he started this sort of chewing /grinding his teeth ( he does this sometimes when about to be sick !) but he hadn't anything in his mouth !!
I am now worried he is going to be ill again and i wish i had taken him back after all -even though he has been totally fine - i just have this feeling he might start with it again tonight with him doing this .
I hope its only me worrying and he stays okay - you never stop worrying about them

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #16 on:** July 09, 2009, 07:47:46 AM »

Fingers crossed he is much better today, and I would be tempted not to take him back

Janeyk · « **Reply #15 on:** July 09, 2009, 06:48:41 AM »

Glad that Smartie is much better now

bunglycat · « **Reply #14 on:** July 09, 2009, 01:39:48 AM »

Hope he hasn''t got a chill because i turned the heated beds off as it was so hot !!??
I saw him get in the other day when it was still on and 10mins later he got out and laid in front of it , so i thought it was time to turn them off - they are back on again today and still on - and i have put my quilt back on the bed as its gone chilly here now

He still seems to be okay and has had a big cuddle around my neck !!!
I knew he was ill this morning - i could sense it as he didn''t come upstairs when the alarm went off which he almost always does if he isn''t there already - this morning , no sign after a few mins , so i immedietly thought that wasn''t right - too true , bless him.

Glad to hear that Smartie is feeling a lot better, fingers crossed it was just a one off

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #12 on:** July 08, 2009, 23:31:12 PM »

Maybe he had a chill.

I wouldnt take him back my self, especially as he hates it so much, well not unless he got ill again

bunglycat · « **Reply #11 on:** July 08, 2009, 23:08:34 PM »

Well, within half an hour of being back from the vets he was up and about , outside and looking for food.
He has eaten some Hills i/d and hasn''t been sick or to the loo for around 10 hours now -so it looks like its passed .
He said to take him back tomorrow -even if he seems okay ?? - is there any need ?? Its just that he hates the car so much ( and the basket)
If i had waited he would have been okay i think -but i suppose its better safe than sorry !
He has been asleep in his heated bed ( put it back on yesterday for him !) and is now flat out in fromt of the fire which i put on half an hour ago for him.

thats the end of it and hope none of the others get it now !!!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #10 on:** July 08, 2009, 22:40:27 PM »

Hope Smartie stays dry and I agree with Trigger

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #9 on:** July 08, 2009, 22:26:40 PM »

Hope Smartie is better soon

We had this a while back, a few of them had it and I was all set to take Sam to the vets (was worried about him because of his heart), but he picked up, and the others quickly recovered too, so didnt need to go in the end.

I hope Smartie is feeling better now xxx

bunglycat · « **Reply #7 on:** July 08, 2009, 19:17:18 PM »

He has had this once before -about 3-4 years ago . Antibiotics sorted it out then.

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #6 on:** July 08, 2009, 19:07:18 PM »

we wouldn't expect to be given blood tests for a spot of transient d&v, so I don't see the need for a cat either, unless the problem persists, or the cat is very distressed

Shirley · « **Reply #5 on:** July 08, 2009, 18:27:20 PM »

Awww poor Smartie. Hope he's had no more problems.

Janeyk · « **Reply #4 on:** July 08, 2009, 18:07:34 PM »

Poor Smartie, hope he's starting to feel much better now

Bazsmum · « **Reply #3 on:** July 08, 2009, 18:02:45 PM »

Sending healing vibes to Smartie....7 hours is a good length of time when you are talking about sickness/dia.

Get Well Soon Smartie!

LadyJane · « **Reply #2 on:** July 08, 2009, 17:38:33 PM »

Aww poor boy, hope you feel better soon lovely x

bunglycat · « **Reply #1 on:** July 08, 2009, 17:35:33 PM »

Why is it always late at night ?? -he was fine all day and evening -then started with the runs around midnight.
He was eating normally though , he is on his usual cat food - no diet change, he doesnt go out of the garden - so no idea why he has got this. ( i gave him some Lacto B in his food last night too )
I got up this morning and he had been sick about 5/6 times ( kitchen floor , so easily cleaned ) in all 5 litter trays he had the runs - all down his trousers too .
I had to wash his back end and he is usually the most placid cat -but he swore and cursed the whole time .
Anyway off we went to the vet again ( 2nd visit this week already ) - he has given him a anti biotic injection , a steroid injection and some Lectade .
He wants him to go back to check on tomorrow - but mentioned Hepatitis or liver problems !? and was talking about blood tests to see .
He is not jaundiced and gums healthy and pink , no temperature .
He hasn''t now been sick or to the loo for around 7 hours , so i am hoping it was a 24 hour bug -where from , i have no idea.
Not sure he needs any blood tests though -also he hates and detests the car- it stresses him and he howls the whole 12 miles each way .
Please send healing vibes for my baby - thankyou
