Vomiting increased the next day, so off to the vet he went on Friday. He also had an old infection in an abcess on his chest that came back. The vet tried to tell my wife the cat was getting out of the house, which was a complete insult because he doesnt. Anyway, they gave him drugs (antibiotic and anti-vomit), and he went in for exploratory surgery Monday morning. They had to dope him up good because he's not very sociable.
So, he was out of his mind for about 8 hours yesterday and couldnt even bring himself to eat, although he was obviously starving after having been fasted for 24 hours and his behavior near his foodbowl. He just wouldnt open his mouth and eat. Anwyay, he seems to be back closer to normal this morning, but we'll see how the vomiting goes. Based on what the vets said, via my wife, I have little confidence this vet knows what she's doing.
Purvis was given anti-vomit medicine, but kept puking it back up, so she called the vets office saying "I cant get him to keep the meds down" and she was told "Yes, the anti-vomit medicine makes them puke sometimes"

Hello?

My wife didnt question that at the time. Why....I dont know.
Anyway.........on with the saga. This seems more about the bill, than the health of the cat.
