poor Hairy is still throwing up as soon as the "nausea" meds run out in time . He also does not want to Eat anything nor drink anything. He also is on 2 Antibiotics . We can tell he is so much weaker today then yesterday.
In a bit I have to call the Vet again.
She seems to think he got into the Trash and ate something bad that got him sick.
I been crying all morning :Cry: because he looks at us and his Eyes are like saying "helpme!" I feel so helpless.
I really hope the meds are kicking in soon and helping him.

normal we know to empty our Trash out, but a couple Days ago he got in it and it wasnt empty. I dont know what he could have gotten into , he was biting on some plastic in there too.
They did Xrays yesterday on him, and she is ruling out blockage , she said he has stool in there but it does not look clogged up. She also said, it does not look like any foreign objects in there either.
She thinks he got sick from the trash. Where i feel so guilty now, that i didnt take it out right away.

Don't beat yourself up over not taking out the trash, you are taking wonderful care of him and making sure he gets the treatment he needs from the vet.

Has he been pooping at all? Stay strong and Hairy knows you are doing everything you can to make him feel better.

I'm so sorry Assi, that's so scary. Please keep us updated And give huge hugs and kisses to him. And don't feel guilty about the trash. These things happen and you're there to look after him now and that's what's important.

Before I read that he had gotten into the trash, my first thought was to have an ultrasound on his liver and a blood test to check on his enzymes, CBC, etc.
First I will tell you not to beat yourself up over not emptying out the trash can. You obviously love Hairy very much and you certainly didn't intentionally leave the trash to hurt him. What's done is done, now to get him better. :)
If there was clear plastic in the trash that he ingested, it may not show up on the x-ray. The question I would want to know if he's pooping at all?
Poor baby and poor mommy. I don't like to hear that anyone's baby is not feeling well. I know that look exactly that they give you when they are ill and ask for help through their eyes.
It's important to make sure he's pooping even though he hasn't been keeping food down. Saliva alone will produce stool. Keep me posted and I hope everything turns out fine starting now. I know you are doing everything you can to help him. :)

Poor Hairy & you! I know that helpless feeling all too well and it sucks! Really hoping the meds kick in soon and he starts eating/drinking again. Have you tried enticing him with a little tuna? Give him very small portions to begin with and see if he keeps it down.
Good luck!!

I brought Hairy to the Vet first thing in the Morning, my Vet seen my Post about him not feeling better on FB and called right away to bring him in. :Cry::Cry:
They are awesome though, they love him and i know he is in Good Care with them. They are doing some Tests , run fluid with Dye thru him to see or things move.
He has not gone potty at all yet, not pee nor poop. So no pooping in 2 days already.
They are calling me with updates, what i think is wonderful ! But i am still sad i do hope so much, that he does not need Surgery :Cry::Cry::Sad:
I just want my lil man to come home and be the Terror he always is ! I love the Monster in him!!

I thank You all for your concern too, I know even my Husband said , i know to some he is just a Cat, but to me he is so much more!! And to my Husband as well.

update.....

Hairy is Home, we got him home an hour ago , he was there all Day, they gave him this Dye and kept xraying him a couple times thru out the Day , last time at 7pm at Night. So he has Stool in his inestine, and not moving and they think, he has something blocking it, could be anything. They cant detect with the Xray what.
Tomorrow morning i have to bring him back in, another Xray and if it hasnt moved to his Colon, its Surgery time for him.
I am thinking its a piece of Plastic, normal he does not chew on Plastic but if there is Food in the Plastic he will chew thru and eat it i think!!

He is laying here on the Heating pad, Hansel his big Bro is laying right with him, holding his Head. Beeing very close to him. It breaks my Heart but also i now know they Really Love each other too!!! Even though Hairy always jumps on Hansel and Hansel acts like he dont like him 'that' much... he does!!!

so back to Vet tomorrow... he is very tired, laying there. But he spiked up when he heard us get him, he was even meowing !! Where he didnt make a peep all day she said.

in the pics the Heat was on HIGH and they were both laying there. The heater went off and he went to his heating pad. Hansel follows him.

I will be saying prayers for you baby tonight and tomorrow. I pray he passes whatever is blocking him. If not, I pray his surgery goes well and he is on the road to recovery very soon!

Hugs to you and the family!!!!!!!

Please keep us posted, I've been checking the lair all day to see how he was doing!

Oh Assi, I hope he'll be okay!!! He looks so sweet next to Hansel that looks do kind holding his head. What a sweet big brother. I really pray and hope the stool moved to his colon. This is so scary. Thinking of you all and hope to see the update as soon as you get back from the vets.
