Dylan was sick last night

[Phoenix]

He was sick twice last night, spent half the night sat up with him :(

So far today he's just not interested in food, don't know whether he's eaten something he shouldn't or what :(

I'll see how he is Monday, if he's still not eating then then I'll have to phone the vet.

[dandysmom]

Hope he's better; may have been something he ate outside. Let us know, please; hugs to you both.

[Phoenix]

Update: he's had a little bit of pork just now and he's drinking his water like it's going out of fashion

[Phoenix]

What little he's eaten so far he's brought it straight up again :( partly digested food with a green tinge to it :(

[smudgley]

He sounds a poorly boy.

{hugs to you both}

Hope he gets better soon.

[Phoenix]

He's keeping fluids down but not food :(

[angieh]

Oh poor Dylan. Healing vibes from me, Kizzy and Pip. Hope he feels better very soon.

[yola]

Good that he's keeping fluids down. The main worry with vomitting is deydration. I hope he gets better soon otherwise yes, a vet visit might be a good idea.

[dandysmom]

Good that he's drinking. Have you tried something bland like chicken or steamed fish ..can't remember if he will eat fish....

[kado]

I hope he is feeling better. Do you know if he has eaten any grass i am wondering if that it what it is he migh have just eaten too much of it. I sure that the vet will be able get to the bottom of his eating problem

He's not even been trying to eat DM :(

Kado - the green in his sick was not grass :( it was bile :(

[dandysmom]

Looks like a vet trip is on order, as you said. If even hand-feeding won't tempt them, you know they're not well. Poor Dylan,

He's still drinking a fair bit, but making no effort to eat at all, not even doing his usual cheeky thing and trying to pinch food off our plates :(

I'll be phoning the vet literally as soon as they open tomorrow and get him an appointment :(

[dandysmom]

Is it possible he might drink some broth?

[Phoenix]

Is it possible he might drink some broth?

He might do, he's been drinking like a fish today :( (hope it doesn't mean he's got anything nasty wrong:( )

[Elaine]

Sounds like he is trying to flush out what ever it is. Did you get a vet appointment? head rubs and chin tickles xxx

[Phoenix]

No luck with the broth DM - he's sniffed it then turned away :( he's going to the vets this evening. He's desperate for food but can't seem to face eating it :(

[dandysmom]

Possibly a tooth problem???

[Phoenix]

The update of all that is the vet thinks it's a tummy bug so Dylan's had 2 injections to help that and he's back on antacids.

Since getting back and since I got the antacid fluid down him, he's had half a pouch of Sheba cat food and his drinking's just about back to normal :-D

[yola]

Did you get to the vet? What did they say?

Edit to say, whoops - posted at the same time! Good that the vet has hopefully identified the problem. Let's hope he bounces back very soon :-)

He seems to be getting back to his old tricks yola, about 5 minutes ago he decided to go out and straight away was back at the cat flap with a mouse :roll: :-D

Well that's good news, I've been worried about the little man all day. :cool:

[HappyKatz]

Good to hear that Dylan is eating & drinking! So glad his tummy isn't upset :cat27

[dandysmom]

Very relieved to hear the good news!

[Phoenix]

Call me melodramatic or whatever but I thought that Dylan was going to at best have to be left at the vets and at worst die :shock:

I do come out with dumb things :roll:

[dandysmom]

Not dumb at all; caring. We do worry so when they're ill, and tend to imagine the worst case scenario. At least I do .....

[kado]

So glad he;s had something too eat what a relief to you and me.

[Elaine]

Glad he's on the mend, I have to admit that I'd have been worried too.

[Phoenix]

Make that a whole pouch since I got back :D

[angieh]

Glad to hear about the pouch full of food and the mouse too! Poor lad must have been hungry. Does the vet have any thoughts on why Dylan has a recurring problem with acid tummy?

[Phoenix]

If he does have any ideas angie he's not said why to me apart from first time it was due to the tablets. We think he ate something he shouldn't have this time :roll: or a tummy bug

[kado]

Give him a hug from his auntie jane please

[angieh]

Just a thought - Yola has posted about using Slippery Elm Bark for Balie. I wonder if it would help Dylan?

[Phoenix]

Dylan's pretty much back to normal now :D nose into everything :roll:
