She was fine yesterday at noon. I came home to stink after work and
she had thrown up a lot and was hiding under the bed. To make a long
story short, even though she was a bit better and ate this a.m., when
I came home at lunch she had thrown up again so I called the vet and
took her in. Normally, I wouldn't be so concerned, but she was really
uncomfortable. Hiding, huddling, licking her lips. So, when I went to
pick her up, they wanted to keep her overnight. She had had some xrays
earlier and both vets were very concerned. Her intestines looked like
this certain condition (I can't remember what it is called) where the
intestines fold in on themselves, but this is very rare and they said
she didn't act sick enough if that is what it is. They wanted to take
more xrays tonight and the one on the side still looked like it, but
the xray from on her back did not. So they want to keep her overnight
and do it again in the morning to see how it looks, hoping that if it
is any stool that was making it look that way it would have moved on.
She did for sure have some kind of infection because her white count
is a bit too high. So, for sure that probably would cause nausea. So
any purrs for Sugar for clear xrays that don't show this rare
condition (that the vet said would be very VERY bad if she had it)
would be much appreciated. I begin to think I am cursed when it comes
to my cats.

You are *not* cursed. You have been unlucky, but that happens to everybody
at times. Purrs for Sugar to feel better ASAP and that her condition isn't
as serious as you thought.
