Toni and I were out all day yesterday and when we came home we found about 4 puddles of vomit. It didn’t long to realize out it was Max as he did it again on my lap. We kept an eye on him and he seemed lethargic. We coaxed him into taking a few sips of water because we were worried about dehydration. He threw that up a few minutes later. When he spit out a cheerio I gave him we knew this was more than an upset stomach. I took him to the emergency vet at about 11 last night and after running blood work his ALT (liver function) was crazy high at 832 (norm is 10-120). His pancreas levels are normal. The doc said that if he possibly ingested a Tylenol this could do it but we are very careful with all our meds in the house. They recommended keeping him and putting him on IV to flush out his liver if it was something he ingested. So I left him at about 4 am last night in the arms of the vet tech. After seeing him struggle in her arms to get back to my arms, I cried the entire ride home. I am hoping that it was just something he ate and that the numbers will come back down. I don’t know what I’ll do if something happens to my baby. And poor Sasha is besides herself. I knew they were close but I never realized just how dependent she is on him. Toni stayed home with Sasha while I went to the vet and she said Sasha just kept staring at the door and barking for Max to come in. We both had to go to work today and we are watching her on the nest cam and she is just sitting on the rug in the kitchen staring at the door. It tears me apart to see her like that. I talked to the vet a little while ago and she said Max seems to be doing well. He is alert and has not thrown up since I brought him in. They will do another blood test at 7 pm tonight to check his level again. I will be on pins and needles until then.
