Poor eight year old Bombay cat. He had the runs, vomiting and now violent sneezing, bad breath, lethargy and eye discharge. The vets have him overnight for tests, most notably feline leukemia.

If all is well, then dental work will be scheduled for his mild case of gingivitis.

Aww I hope he feels better. I know when my furbaby was sick, we would cuddle on the couch for the day. I don't know if it helped him, but it made me feel like I was doing something. Hopefully yours will come out with just an over-night bug and be all fine.

I'm so sorry about your cat. It is so hard when they are not feeling well!

I had to take my Mom's cat to the emergency vet on Saturday night. She is in the mid-stage of kidney failure. She was yowling while trying to urinate and I was afraid she had a blockage. 36 hours and 800 dollars later the Vet said she had a bladder infection.

They gave her antibiotics via an injection so we don't have to give her medicine by mouth. Which is a good thing because she can be rather cranky. They had to sedate her to get her iv out!

I hope all goes well with your kitty.

Poor baby! I hope he's okay. My poor furbaby (kitty) went in for a dental cleaning and ended up having six teeth pulled. She's eight as well. But she bounced back quick. Kitties are resilient! Smile Prayers and best wishes to your baby!

UPDATE: Just called the vets and he is doing better. I think the feline leuk tests came back negative but the admin that answered the phone didn't have much to offer in the way of info.
