Hi everyone - I haven't posted at much here lately as I've wanted to. I've been in the process of building a new house the past several months (with an awesome cat/litter box room!).
Me and Mr Picasso had a scary morning this morning. Soon after I work up he vomited up clear liquids twice. Unusual for him. Then I noticed he had a very bloody rear . I immediately panicked and called the vet. They were able to get us in this morning, but my sweet little angel turned into a demon when they tried to run test on him. He was so stressed out. The vet detected a low grade heart murmur this morning too. That's the first time they've noticed anything like that. He's been to the vet several times here lately for a persistent eye issue that still isn't getting better. On one of the recent visits, we did the pro-bnp blood test and the results came back excellent with no sign of heart stress.
With the stomach issues and murmur, they wanted to take his temperature, do a fecal loop, and do do X-rays...and he would have none of it. He even bit the vet tech in his fit of rage.
The vet said they couldn't do anything with him like this, so we would have to bring him in Monday morning for light sedation so they could do all the tests.
I'm so worried. He's running around the house right now like nothing's wrong. Can cats have a murmur when they're stressed? Has anyone dealt with anything like this? My sweet Pico is three and a half years old.
I'm hoping maybe he just ate something weird and the stressed caused the murmur, but I'm fearing the worst. We lost our 6 year old Persian back in March and it was a gruesome 24 hours of seizures, paralysis, heart murmurs, and ER visits. I'm still traumatized.
