Hello All!
I am a new poster to these forums but since I got Pearl on August 17th, I have came to this site for advice a few times.
I am very concerned for my Pearl at the moment. Yesterday when I came home from work around 5pm, I fed Pearl ( she eats a raw diet) and while she was eating, I found that she had thrown up her breakfast sometime during the day while I was gone. She ate her lunch just fine and kept everything down. She seemed a little less active than normal and not being as vocal as she normally is, she's definitely a talker! So I watched her closely for the next few hours and took her temp which was 100 degrees. She still drinks water with no problem. Then around midnight, I fed her again. She ate it slowly but she ate all of it. Then she went to her litter pan and let out a big meow, sounding like she was in pain so I ran over and she was throwing up again. I waited a little bit and kept watching her closely then she started having diarrhea so I took her to a 24 hour emergency vet. Her temp was still 100 at the vet and the rest of her vital were normal, they said. They gave her anti nausea meds and gave me FortiFlora to put in her food once every 24 hours. They told me to not feed her raw for the next few days but feed her boiled chicken and rice instead?? She's had a tiny bit of diarrhea this morning. I just gave her a little pumpkin and she scarfed it right down. I took her body temp again and it was lower, 98.8. I'm not using the best brand thermometer so I don't know how true that reading is. I'm planning on getting a better one. I have her wrapped up in front of a space heater now. After talking to my primary vet, she said as long as she's not vomitting profusely or heavy breathing, she thinks that she will be fine to just watch for a little and that I don't need to rush her off to an emergency vet just yet.
Anyone have any advice or have had a similar situation?
