Poor little Tibbe threw up bile again this morning twice an hour apart so he's spending the day at the vet. They are giving him an injection of Cerenia, observing him all day. For now, he's avoiding food but frisky, playful and alert, barking, so the doc will watch him rest of the day and send him home tonight with Cerenia pills until he gets through this episode. If he has another episode soon, we'll do more bloodwork but for now, she's thinking it's possibly a reaction to the two kernels of corn with tad of milk that splashed on the floor when I was making soup; or just his liver acting up a bit and not connected to the corn/milk. Everything else looks good physically, she says, and with a history of a normal weekend and even eating dinner last night, she's thinking it's a flare-up of his liver - at least that's what his "nurse" said on the phone when I checked on him at noon. I won't see the vet until tonight when I pick him up. I sure hope and pray this is just a flare and his tummy will settle down. Poor baby Tibbe!
