what a 24 hours

[misslissa]

I woke up yesterday and Gatsby seemed a little sluggish, so i fed him early in the day but he only seemed to be worse. i called the vet and he said to give him some suger water in case his blood suger was low i looked at his gums and they seemed a little light but not to bad the vet said give him suger water anyway, so i did, and he perked up a little but not much.
he still would not move he just lifted his head when you called his name i called the vet back and he said bring him in so i did and the vet gave him a iron supplement and even that was only helping a little the vet said take him home and feed hm again and let him rest and well see what happens so i did when we went to bed i was still worried but he was sleeping normal so we went to bed i must have got up about 30 times in the night to check on him then he seemed hot so i gave him some water that he promptly started chocking on i was so upset i di dnot know what to do it was like 330 in the morning i took him back to bed with me and we both feel back to sleep about an hour later he started throwing up then he stopped and was fine he fell back asleep against my better judgment so did i
i woke up this morning to a little furry face staring at me as i opened my eyes he leaned out and liked my nose, so far today he has been fine but yesterday was horrible.
tanks for letting me share i just needed to vent.

I'm sorry you had such a rough time. You must be exhausted. Maybe he got into something in the yard??? Anyway, I'm so glad Gatsby is better. I'm sure you are still feeling the loss of sleep!

Oh, so sorry u had a rough night....that had to be sooo scary....so happy to hear he is feeling so much better this morning....

Oh my gosh, they can give you such a scare when they are sick! You may want to post this on the threads in the medical section (if you did not already). If it were me, I'd be headed to the vets this morning based on what you described. My little one is also called Gatsby, by the way.

I'm so sorry you had such a worry, but so glad Gatsby is doing better! I hope it stays that way!

I am sorry you had such a hard day yesterday. I am glad things are going better today

Thanks everyone he seems fine today i talked to the vet on the phone and he seems to think its because Gatsby is anemic we have not figured out why he is anemic yet but ever since last summer sometimes his blood count will get really low last summer he had to have a transfusion the vet is going to do more tests to see if we can figure out the cause of the anemia
thanks again

Great minds think alike i guess he got his name from peeing on my copy of The Great Gatsby the night i brought him home.

It is so scary when our babies do that. Glad things are better now.
