Gus: Aww, Sasha don’t worry. I’ll take care of you!
It’s me again, Sasha the magnificent. I’m home. It’s so good to be alive! It was awful. Peeps have no sense of boundaries. They even put a tube up my butt! Seriously? All this because I barf on carpets.
The Vet has no idea why I barf so much. Likely IBD (irritable bowel disease) but they can’t be sure unless there is a biopsy. I whapped the peep good because that was not happening! She agreed. Neither an x-ray nor an ultrasound would confirm so I dodged those bullets. They are going to fiddle with my food. We’ll see how this goes. I’m not eating crappy food!
I came home and told Gus all about it. He comforted me and promised that he’ll share his food if mine wasn’t good. He better!
Peep’s note: Just as I thought, there is no crisis or treatment except to invest in paper towel stock as we will continue to go through them cleaning up barf. She has an irritation in her one ear that is making her uncomfortable and we are taking care of that. The vet suggested a hydrolized food diet. Yikes $$$ (and Gus may want to eat it too!). It’s not guaranteed to work. I have to do more research and see what I can find.
We all wish you a weekend that doesn’t require fiddling with your food.
The things we do and the money we spend on our kitty masters. I hope the food is good fix for it.

I’m so glad to hear she is home safely. My dog is on hydrolyzed food for IBD and while expensive has helped tremendously. I hope you find something that both helps and that she will eat regularly.
have a nice weekend.

Oh Sasha…so sorry you were poked and prodded and still got no answers. We’re hoping the barfing goes away with an adjustment of the food. Paws crossed for you. In the meantime, enjoy the attention of your sweet Gus.

I am so happy you posted! She has this wonderful Lady Peep. I hate you are having to worry about her but I think you have a plan. Nothing done that doesn’t confirm anything and lots of paper towels! And she is going to do some research and Sasha is going to get lots of prayers and hope for something to help. Hugs, Kate!

Good news about her blood work and the glucose for sure!

We just keep on trying new things until they come up with a way of diagnosing this better. The vet said a lot of cats have this.

Good luck to Sasha and the peep. So frustrating that it’s basically, ‘I don’t know,’ from the docs. Couldn’t bloodwork tell them something? Sigh. Maybe it’s time to invest in a paper towel brand. Have a great weekend.

Bloodwork is almost perfect. Glucose is a few digits over normal but nothing alarming. Bounty it is! :)

Hope you can find something suitable that she likes that is not costly.

“not costly” has sailed most likely but we’ll work on it.
