Hugs & Dooks to all Spaz gave me the scare of my life today...I got up this am and he did too,,,he didn't look right so I picked him up and he started gagging and pawing at his mouth. He's never ever done this before...he wouldn't walk and he was crying....I scooped him up and off to the vet which is a 2 hour drive away....I was crying and so scared...got to the vet and they had a look at him, x-rayed him to see if he had a blockage and by now he's fine...he's his regular self. All perky and taking treats...the x-ray showed nothing...he's healthy ...no blockages. I brought him home..the vet thinks he might have a touch of the flu...since we've been home he's just slept...he got up once for about a 1/2 hour and then back to bed...he's drinking and eating a little..he went in the litter box and poop looks fine....what do you think? Anyone with any advice or comments. If he does have the flu how long does it last and can I give him Pepto bismal or something for his tummy. I lost my cat of 10 years at Christmas and I don't want to lose Spaz too. Thanks for all your help in advance. Kate and the Spaz monster [Posted in FML issue 4111]
