Don’t know what to do

Baby Clyde has been throwing up since this afternoon. He looks pretty ragged. I’m sure we’ll take him to the vet in the morning if he’s still acting and looking this bad, but I can’t decide if we need to take him to the emergency vet now.

Is there a chance, however remote, that this is a delayed reaction to the Hartz flea treatment? You all got me really spooked with that. Should we be calm and wait until morning or freak out and take him in right now?

This is my most beloved cat. He’s wonderful, and he deserves the best treatment. I just don’t know if there’s anything to be gained by taking him in right now.

Ugh. I know I won’t be getting much sleep tonight either way.

    I would try to call the emergency vet and see what they say. Also, see if you can get your cat to drink water so he won’t get dehydrated.

    It’s the same when you have children… (I have only ever read this post of yours so I am unsure if you have children or not!)… when my son gets ill I battle with myself over whether to take him in the the ER right away, or wait until morning.
    Usually I will end up calling his doctors answering service and when the doc gets ahold of me they will tell me what they think, but even that takes forever.
    I hope all is well with your kitty!!

    […] Baby Clyde is doing better, we think. He apparently had a blockage in his digestive tract so when they x-rayed him, his stomach looked totally full even after a day of intense vomiting. Not sure how or why, but the next day’s x-rays showed his stomach clear and his lower digestive tract filling up, so the vet was satisfied that things looked to be on the right track. But I’m still nervous because we don’t know why he was having trouble in the first place. Which in my mind means it could happen again anytime. But considering I thought he might be dying on Sunday night, I’ll be relieved if all we’re dealing with is a bad case of indigestion. […]
