A little down, a little up

Mona began vomiting this morning around 6 AM and continued into the morning. She wasn't vomiting violently and she did not have the dry heaves. I spoke with her local vet and the oncology specialist. They had me restart her anti-naseau meds with some pepcid thrown in for good measure. No food until tomorrow morning.

She thoughtfully puked onto various pieces of her bedding which was easy to clean up. ;-)

She vomited only one time further after receiving the meds - no sign of the pills in the vomit so I'm fairly sure enough time had passed for her to absorb them. Other than a few blades of grass, she hasn't consumer anything else.

The remainder of the day passed quietly. She slept on her bed. We went out for a few hours this afternoon and came home to find her snoozing on the sofa. No sign of vomit. She did manage to snag Ledcat's lunch bag and lick clean a clean dish. That was helpful. Her energy level was a bit back up to speed. We had to deceive her when it was time to give the boys their dinner -- she thought it was special Mona-belly-rub time.

Tonight, she seems fine. She did break through three baby gates so we are unsure if she consumed any cat food. As she has not vomited, we aren't fretting about it too much. Her bedding is freshly laundered and ready ... for bed.

Tomorrow, we'll start her on some boiled chicken and take it from there.

The vet told me her bloodwork is great and she's still in remission. I think this was just a blip. I hope.
