Morning all.

Clutching at straws here, but I have a very poorly cat and wondered if any of you have dealt with the same issue.

She has been retching/gagging since Sunday evening and until yesterday was also flicking her tongue in and out.

Monday we went to the vet and she had exploratories done.

Her gut was inflamed so they operated on her abdomen, but found nothing.

She came home last night and drank some water, but not eaten.

She's on two meds - one anti-inflammatory and Ranittidene (sp?) as she is full of wind.

She spends her time hiding quietly in a corner and wants to be on her own (very out of character, but understandable at the moment).

She is still doing mini-retches, almost like an unproductive burp.

I slept downstairs with her last night and she had a few little wanders around and then settled down again.

Any ideas as to what may be causing this or what else to do? The vet's on standby to readmit her, but he doesn't have a clue as to the cause.

Help please!

Oh Squiffy I am so sorry to read this. I haven't posted to this thread before, but I have been following it, all dear Fluff's ups and downs, all your hopes for her.
You all tried so hard, and you all gave her so much love at the end of her life. Sending love and hugs for you and for everyone who cared for her in her last days flowers

Very sorry indeed to hear this news squiffy, it's a wretched thing to have to do for a much loved friend but your vet has done everything possible for Fluff. She was much loved.

Dear Squiffy, you did everything that you could do for your beloved Fluff. She fought so hard to stay with you, and you fought along side the dear little soul.
RIP Dearest Fluffy flowers, and lots of hugs to you too Squiffy at this very difficult time.

So sorry, Squiffy, but you did the right thing, not that that helps right now, though.

Thank you all and especially you, grandt, as I know you recently lost your furry friend, too.

Tonight I heard a little noise and looked round thinking it was Fluff and then realised that it was one of the little girls next door squeaking in the garden. It really shook me for a minute - and then, of course, I welled up . . . I really need to get a grip!
