Darcy off to the vet right now


I'm just heading out with Darcy for an emergency appointment with the vet. I came home yesterday afternoon to a very lethargic cat who had been (and continued to) vomit white frothy stuff. I've also not seem him eat or drink yesterday or this morning and he's just curled up under the sink in the corner of the bathroom.

So, as much out of a fear of dehydration as much as anything we're heading off to the vet shortly. Hopefully it's just a reaction to the heat, but it's thundery and raining this morning so if that's the case he should be perking up (Fifi certainly has )

Oh dear... I hope he's alright... Please let us know as soon as you get back. Fingers crossed for a minor scare, nothing serious, until then.

Good luck Yola, he's probably dehydrated as you say, hope so.

Re: Darcy off to the vet right now


Ok, it might be nothing, but it might be quite serious.

Vet gave him a really good feeling over and scuttled off to weigh him and find a colleague she came back and said they'd had a good feel of his tummy and there was a 'mass'. She said it most likely was some kind of intestinal blockage. Unlikely that it's faeces as that's maleable, possibly a VERY compacted hairball, possibly a 'telescopic' intestine (spasmed and twisted), possibly another kind of blockage due to having eaten something (he like to chew plastic bags), or then something more serious such as a tumour - operable if it's localized in just one area, more tricky if it's spread

We had to leave him there. This broke my heart as he really, really just wanted cuddles. There was also shades of Ferdy, who as you may remember I lost under a general anaesthetic just under 2 years ago.

They will hydrate him, sedate him and give him an x-ray and then they'll call me if they need to proceed further . . . I'm so worried to bits about my funny little kitty
