described,
your cat needed emergency care.

Jesus, woman! At least she -called- her vet and took the cat in to see
him... even if he does sound like an idiot. People come here for advice
(yes, sometimes when they should be speeding to the vet), not your insults
and perfect hindsight.

I came home last night after being gone about 2 hours. My cat was fine
when I left. When I came home she was acting very strange, she usually
runs to see me and hangs right by me. She came out to see me and went
back in my room and hid. Then she threw up white foamy stuff. Then she
was acting weirder and stranger. She looked really strange her eyes
were puffy and the skin was red around them. Then I was seeing the
thirdeye. She was breathing strange and she was hot. She then was
growling when I touched her and crying every once in a while.
snip
I just kept her by me and kept checking her, then my
daughter came home and she let out two loud crys to her and threw up a
lot of brownish liquid. I became more upset. I set the alarm for 7am,
by now it was about 3am. I got my pillow and blanket and layed on the
floor by her. I woke up and 7 and took her to the vets. I brought a
stool sample and a sample of her vomit, which was negative? They said
she was probably "bit by something (bug)"? OR has a flew. I'm
confused. Did anyone hear of such a thing? They gave her fluids in her
back which are leaking out, they said some would. And an antibiotic
shot and something to settle her stomach and for the vomiting. They
sent home an antibiotic and the "stomach" pills too.
She is still acting strangely but looking better. Like constant
purring and if I go to touch her she growls. I went to pick a piece of
sticky paper it was stuck to her back leg and she yelled and growled
as if I hurt her. If anyone has any idea what this could be please let
me know? You can email me at thank you......

Find a new vet, have the new vet look your kitty over. Take the records from
the old vet to the new vet so they know what's what. Make sure those records
include the treatment performed for the vomiting you described.
And for future reference, find out if you have an emergency vet clinic in
town, keep the phone number either saved in your phone, by your phone, or
anywhere else you can get to it in a matter of seconds. If you live in a big
city, it's a good idea to actually physically drive to the facility so that
if there's an emergency in the wee hours, and you're frantic anyway, you'll
be less likely to get lost.

Hope your kitty's feeling better!

Are you a twit?

Oh, for crying out loud. Now, that's really gonna help, huh? This person
*did* call a vet. Whose advice was apparently lousy, but the poster *did*
make the effort. This is not in the same league as a lame-brain who posts
on a ng yet makes no effort to contact a veterinarian when it's obvious that
one is needed.

Personally, if she's still on the "iffy" side, I'd take her - along w/ the
meds they gave you & the invoice of services rendered (so they know exactly
what's been done so far), to another vet.

And if she's acting fine by now, I'd strongly consider shopping around for a
new vet anyway.

Btw - yes, when subcutaneous fluids are given, they may leak back out a
little. If she had an allergic reaction to a bite, then yes, the scenario'd
make sense to me. (Otoh, it could've been something else, too.)

talking strange, and mumbling? He said something like no need to get
the fire engines involved??????? And talked about giving her stomach
pills but it was obvious he was so tired he was like delerious. I was
even more upset. I just kept her by me and kept checking her, then my

No, she isn't a twit. She's a person who is *very* worried about her cat coming
on this board asking a serious question. I hate it when posters get that kind
of response froom you.

Once again, Luvskats, Nywriter, Awriteny, makes a gigantic,
unanimously-agreed upon ass of herself in front of the newsgroup! Gotta
love the predictability of the whole thing, *giggle*!

Omigosh, is luvskats NYWriter? I had no idea. Abby Frank, queen of declaws
herself? Well, that certainly is a typical remark from her then.
