Caring For Your Cat / Re: Queen Eva threw up with a pink tinge

Queen Eva peed and pooped overnight so I grabbed her for a weight this morning, 6 pounds 15 1/2 ounces.  Now I can let her skip a meal now and then without worry, for instance this morning she doesn't want to eat much. Probably moving some fur through.

She's still very anxious when she sees me getting ready to leave the house, she'd never ever spent a night alone before. Very clingy!

I botched the Vit B 12 shot again. This time I asked them to loosen the needle cap so that was okay, but I stuck the needle too far and it came out the other side and I had already plunged before I realized it. Vet wants me to get another and give it to her today and she wants her on the lactulose permanently, a new bottle of which I will pick up today also.

No more diarrhea (or any poop) as of this morning. She ate her raw meal breakfast without trouble. I think she still has a bit of a tummy ache, judging by the way she crouches around and is reluctant to play. I had to stop the GLM too, because I didn't know if that was contributing to the other problems.  When she goes back to eating her canned, I'll try adding the GLM again and see what happens. I just want her to have some relief from arthritis pain.

Queen Eva is rejecting all canned food but will eat cooked chicken (I roasted a chicken on Sunday) or her own cooked meals (pork with chicken and the broth) or raw, in small amounts.  She had a tiny formed single poop earlier, I found it when I came home for lunch. Formed but still very soft.

I can keep her hydrated with the fluids.

Things went haywire, she stopped eating and had diarrhea all day yesterday.  Sitting around in that crouched cramp.  I would say adding fat is not going to work for her, but at least she's cleaned out.

i tried to give fluids last night but she objected and disconnected the needle after only about 10 ml.  I think it wasn't warm enough. It's so cold here, even with the furnace running it just got chilled again from me taking it from the kitchen to the bathroom. No way to keep the fluid in the tube warm, usually I let it run into the sink before I start but I forgot that step.

I let her go 13 hours without food and this morning she is asking to eat, but I haven't fed her yet.

PS rejecting breakfast.  Gave her the fluids, went a lot better this time, and she allowed it. I kept it warm by leaving it in the basin and carrying it, in the basin of warm water, to the bathroom.

I told her what was going to happen, gave her the Burrowing Towel in case she wanted to tuck her head in (she did), remembered to check the temp and flow before starting, and while she complained a bit, she did not struggle and allowed me to give her 50 ml fluids.

EDIT after she washed the indignity off in front of her favorite hot air vent, she ate a little of her breakfast, but not much.

She had some more hard pieces in her poop overnight, including a marble. So this morning I added rather a  lot of fat to her raw meal, and gave her only half her s.boulardii. That did the trick, 10 hours later, she's finally gotten the rest of it out I think, and it was quite soft.

So now we're starting from square one again, and I'm hoping to manage it with the added fat going forward. 

One more thing, oh happy day, she's up to 6 pounds 14 ounces, which is her normal weight.
