Purrs and prayers being sent for you to find out quickly what's
causing this and for Sammy and Shamrock to get better soon. It could
just be virus, we have a nasty one here at the moment which is
causing humans to have severe vomiting problems, maybe it's
something similar.

When I told my vet that Shamrock was also vomiting, she told me the
same thing, that it could be viral or bacterial, as in just a "bug"
but to keep an eye on them. Sammy ate a little more today, but still
not up to his normal appetite. Shamrock hasn't eaten anything but
has had a little water. Vet gave me some anti-nausea med for both of
them to take 1x per day in the morning for up to 4 days, but if in 2
days there's no improvement in either, to bring them back. Sammy's
blood work was perfect, only the white cell count was a little low
presumably being used to fight of whatever is going on.

Thank you all for the well wishes and purrs. I'll keep you updated.

I'm sorry they're sick, but it does sound as though they're on the
road to recovery. Purrs will continue.

I had to trick Shamrock to get some food into him. Sammy ate some soft
food with a little warm water in it, but Shamrock wasn't going for that
or any other food. One thing he can't resist is shrimp. I microwaved 2
frozen ones and chopped them up small and mixed them into some regular
canned cat food with a little extra water added. At first he rejected
the bowl, but now he's eating. I just hope he doesn't throw it all up
later. I'll be watching both of them.

That's good news.

Purrs for their recovery to continue.

Judith

Sammy is practically back to normal today and eating, peeing and pooing
well. Good energy.

Shamrock isn't eating as much as I'd like him to eat so I might take him
to the vet for some fluids which perked up Sammy. I have to go into
the office tomorrow, so Friday Shammy will go, and likely get blood work
done. he's due for rabies shot but he isn't getting it until he is well.
