Let us see your squishies! For some of them it may be the last Fur Baby Friday where they are solo stars of the show, so don't deny them the spotlight, yo!

ETA - ps, I'm also still pissed at MIL.
Izzy the Kitty has been to the vet twice today.
Once for a recheck for her digestive illnesses last week (constipation and vomiting) and for annual vaccinations. We got the a-ok, came home, but then she threw up twice, even though she's on rX sensitive wet food. :-S
No fever, and the vet gave her an anti-nausea injection so that she can maybe tolerate some food a little later today.
Vet said that it could be Irritable Bowel Disease or anxiety. This hasn't ever happened before. Was hoping to get her digestive situation settled and her on a new diet before baby comes, but it doesn't look like stool softeners nor a sensitive food diet make a difference in her vomiting.
Btw, I think her anti-nausea meds kicked in:
No meds long term-- just the one injection from today.
Her appetite is VERY healthy-- she cries all the time for food. Maybe she does have an acidy tummy and she thinks she's hungry all the time. I wish I knew!!
(P.s. - with my old man cat I can actually hear his tummy rumble and make noise when he's been off his meds a few days. It just sounds like unhappy tummy. Its one of my cues that I should do his meds soon or I may end up with projectile puke tomorrow or the next day)
Long term Pepcid and Miralax for my baby, and easy to digest food. I feel like a Veterinary Dr. House here!
She's curled up with us and seems pretty happy now. I try not to freak out when she is sick, especially when she still acts like herself.
@queequeg09256 I do have a concern a little about Samurai. He's a sweet boy but he was a stray before he came to live us, and he's seen some sh*t, that's for sure. Whatever he's been thru has left his wires a little bit crossed, he can sometimes get overstimulated and get nippy. You can be petting him and he's digging it and then he'll just open his mouth and try to grab your hand and hold it with his teeth or gnaw on it for a bit before he transitions to licking you.
I'm not TOO worried about it, tho, because even when he is all fired up, he never nips hard enough to break skin - he seems to know how to be gentle and how hard is TOO hard - and I just have a feeling that he will be understanding this behavior will not fly with LO. I WILL be on the lookout for how he does with those waving arms and legs and whatnot, but I think it will be OK.
