Finally took my older cat to the vet last night..
The one that was having vomiting and diarrhea issues?
Anyway she started vomiting nothing but food and water..5 times since Monday. We made an appointment for last night and DH even took a half day to watch her.
Apparently she appears to be fine..she's just lost 3 pounds within a year. They did some blood work (results today) and gave her an injection of Centrine. For a week we are to only feed her this bland Eukanuba wet food with a half a pill of Centrine with each feeding. No dry food. They also took a sample from this fatty lump on her back. I thought we'd be hit with a big bill but it was less than $200.
Anyway, I just hope those tests come back ok today.

Praying that your kitty is okay - my brother had this with his cat and they gave him steroids for the cat. She's been fine now.

They called us last night to say her thyroid levels are high and the vet would call us back today.

Re: Finally took my older cat to the vet last night..
thanks, basically she has to be on meds for the rest of her life and..we have to give them a urine sample because her glucose was high.
How the heck are we going to manage that? She sits in the box and pees. Oh boy, this is going to be fun!

Re: Finally took my older cat to the vet last night..
You're going to get good at giving pills - maybe you should try to come over and give my kitty one.
I found this - the aquarium gravel sounds like a good idea, as long as I think you wash it in hot water first to get rid of any residue.

Thanks, I'll pass that along since you know I'm not doing the urine collection!
She's been good with the pills so far but that's because she's so hungry without the dry food she eats whatever we put out!
