 Attacked by a Ferrel Cat - Puking Now!
Hi All - Another call out for advice. The day before yesterday, my Italian Greyhound and my two Yorkies were out for a stroll when a large Ferrel cat appeared out of nowhere and attacked us. First it went after my Bengal Chaos who frequently walks with us. When Chaos broke free and ran it came after the smallest, my little Willy at which point my 12 year old Italian Greyhound Vixen went after the cat with a vengeance. Considering my options in a split second I decided to drop Vixen's leash and let her scare the cat away. She's the biggest and loudest of my pack. No such luck - the cat attacked her. Now she has 15 staples in three different places. Thank God she's recovering, although in a lot of pain. I've examined my Yorkies Willy and Coco from head to toe and could only find a single small scratch near Coco's ear - She's been to the vet and OK.
The problem is that Willy, the youngest and smalls at 3.5 lbs. has been throwing up since the incident. I took him to the vet this morning who advised me not to feed him all day, but to give him 1/2 teaspoon of syrup to keep his blood sugar up 2X day and bring him back tomorrow morning. I can't figure out what could be wrong with him or if this is even related to the attack.
Our dogs eat Nutro Ultra - Small Breed. They've all tolerated it well for quite some time so I'm pretty sure it's not food related.
Does anyone have any experience with an episode like this? Your wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
