Ruby threw up again yesterday, about an hour after having thawed mackerel for lunch. She was sucking on extra saliva like crazy for about 10 minutes beforehand. Of course, like you do, I kept telling her to hush, completely forgetting this is what we all do before being sick.
After two throwup, a clean up and a good scrub of the carpet, watched with interest by her, she settled down to sleep. We didn’t walk her as she seemed tired.
I know it’s advised to starve them afterwards but she was just getting more and more grumpy with hunger. I gave her plain boiled rice and plain scrambled egg for tea to settle her. She was a bit distracted during the evening but settled down nicely and slept well.
She seems fine so far this morning. This is twice now she has thrown up after fresh frozen mackerel so no more for now.
Poor old Ruby - it obviously doesn't agree with her at all.

She needs fish so I’ll try her on something else.
DeleteIt definitely seems to disagree with her, I wonder why? Betty had thrown up overnight earlier this week - husband said she'd been eating a lot of grass during her evening constitutional. She seemed perfectly fine in the morning when I got up though, and was hungry as usual, so I gave her a half portion of homemade food. No after effects, she was fine all day.
ReplyDeleteUp until these last two occasions she seemed fine, very strange.
DeletePoor Ruby!! Our cat does the same thing only she usually vomits twice and then sleeps it off.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
So strange it’s happened after being alright previously.
DeletePoor Ruby, do you think it could be an allergy?
