We are at the emergency vet. She's been vomiting after she eats and stopped eating and drinking 24 hours ago. I can tell she's dehydrated and she's been making sad meows. Her belly hurts and she's been losing weight. She's 12. I hope it's something simple. They just took her back. I love her so much and am scared.

It’s hyperthyroidism and dehydration. She’ll be ok!

She getting blood drawn now. Going to check her thyroid and her kidney function. It's likely one of those or pancreatitis or cancer. She'll be getting some fluids, steroids, and anti nausea meds so at least she'll be feeling a little better here soon.

20. Hang in there. Cats are extremely resilant. She'll bounce back.

Twelve is not old for a cat and I doubt that she has geriatric issues.

21. Praying it's something simple

That sounds like it could be a blockage. I’m no vet, of course. I hope it can be easily fixed.

Hoping its just something that is easily treated and resolved.
My kitty, Sammy had Pancreatitis and she was successfully treated. Sounds like the same symptoms she had. Keep us posted. Love her sweet picture.

It turned out to be hyperthyroidism and dehydration, but pancreatitis was one of the possibilities the vet and I discussed. I’m so relieved it’s something treatable and something I’ve dealt with before, and that we’ll have more time together.

[virgdem]

63. That's fantastic news.

I was hoping that it was something that was very treatable. I had a cat that was hyperthyroid, so I'm familiar with the treatment options.
Pooper will now be the spoiled Diva she has always aspired to be.

[Warpy]

24. Most likely: she ate something and it blocked her bowel somewhere

Since this started so suddenly, it's the most likely cause. A little less likely is a twisted loop of intestine. Both are treatable by surgery, but I won't sugar coat it, she's a very sick kitty.

You got her to the e-vet in a timely manner, so she's in good hands. She'll get some fluids, they might doXrays or ultrasound (depending on what gear they've got), and they'll let you know what it is and how much your credit card will get dinged for the surgery, if my guesses are correct.

Whatever is going on, I hope she recovers and you get more good time together.
