Abi - not herself :(

[charliebubs]

I'm not sure if I'm over-reacting but something doesn't seem right with Abi today and yesterday.

She's really quiet - which isn't normal for her (typical Siamese!), she's not eating much and her coat seems really dull and greasy. She was also a tiny bit sick last night, but it was just about a teaspoon full amount of liquid. :cry:

Her third eyelid is over a bit too - but then it sometimes is anyway, just with the shape of her Siamese eyes.

I even gave them a special Easter dinner tonight and the others wolfed theirs down, but Abi had a few mouthfuls and then just walked away.

She normally always sits with me too - in fact she normally follows me everywhere - but tonight she's curled in the radiator bed and doesn't seem to care about sitting with me. It's just not like her. :(

I will take her for a check up on Tuesday, but perhaps I'm just being paranoid. :?

I hope it is just something she may have eaten. Does she go outside? Sometimes that puts them off their food for a day or so. And if she was a little sick then that might also be a symptom of eating something a bit "icky".

Hope she feels better after a good nights sleep.

[charliebubs]

Good point Donna.............she does chase flies. Perhaps she has eaten a dodgy fly or something in the garden today :?

Fingers crossed she's better tomorrow.

Thank you. ;)

You know your own cat, and she definitely sounds as if she's not her usual self....not paranoia at all. If she's not better, I'd take her in; hope it was just something dodgy she ate, and that she's better tomorrow!

I hope it's nothing more than just an upset tum Charlie :?

[Fran]

I wonder if she has had too much sun today, Charlie?

[charliebubs]

Really?????? Like heat-stroke???? I suppose it's possible in cats.

She's definitely been drinking water, as she prefers it from the kitchen tap, so I tend to notice!!! :lol:

[Sweet]

:( awww I hope shes better tomorrow x

[Kazz]

If you have a feeling something is not quite right - however minor then go see the vet, as Dm says you know your own cat - you really do even if you don't believe it.

But if you think it may be a tummy upset due to a dodgy "self caught meal" ........then she should be fine just keep an eye on her.

Yes cats can suffer heat stoke too Charlie, keep an eye on her and let us know how she is x

Charlie - I hope Abi perks up tomorrow. Poor thing :( Fifi get a bit funny if she's been out all day sometimes - I think warmer weather does affects some cats adversley.

Dodgy fly made me smile though. As if there was anything other than a dodgy fly . . . .aren't they all; yuk!!

[dinahsmum]

I've no words of wisdom to add (gasps of suprise! :) ;) ) but I agree it could be something she ate or the heat.
Anyway, hope she's feeling better today

[Tom_J]

i hope she is feeling better today

[charliebubs]

She's better!!!!!!!!!!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the support guys. :):)

Yola, I agree - flies are all gross and dodgy and probably carry all kinds of yucky diseases, but the cats do insist on catching them!!! Yuck!!! :?

[dandysmom]

I guess it depends on the fly...and the cat! Misty was a champion fly catcher...almost never missed ...and always ate them.... yuck .........and died peacefully at almost 20 never having a sick day in her life!!

Glad she's feeling better Charlie, give her a wee cuddle from me please xxx

[charliebubs]

Thought I'd add this onto the old thread.............Abi doesn't seem well again :(

It's the same symptoms as before when I posted this originally and it turned out to be an ear infection and affected her balance. She hasn't got a head-tilt this time or loss of balance, but she's not right.

I've checked her ears and can't see any build up of wax or obvious infection :?

I'll see how she is tomorrow and take her to the vets if she's still off her food and not right :(

[Mags]

Fingers crossed it isn't anything serious Charlie......

[Elaine]

How is Abi today Charlie? Hope she has perked up xxx

[dinahsmum]

No Charlie?
Getting worried for Abi now .... let's hope it's an IT failure. CB is between jobs, so doesn't have access to her work internet - maybe her home one is down?

[Fran]

I haven't heard from her so hopefully, she is just enjoying her week off. If she doesn't put in appearance later, I'll text her and check everything's ok.
