Harriet is in the hospital tonight, getting IV fluids. I've had her only a year. She's always had an odd health issue- every five days her tummy would gurgle and she's refuse to eat in the morning. It happened almost like clockwork, but she always bounced and felt better and ate in the evening. This weekend she vomited and didn't bounce.

I took her in yesterday for bloodwork and she got three injections, ABX, antinauseal, and pain med. She had a quiet night. This morning she took some water and I gave her three tiny pieces of Purina OM dry food. She threw it up so I took her in and I'm missing her like crazy. Very hard to accept she won't be here tonight. She is scheduled for a sonogram in the morning.

Hank seems to be missing her, too.

Sorry to hear your little one is doing poorly, I hope she is quickly back home with you and the issue is resolved.

Thanks to @Sanguine @verga @Suppressed @GtHawk @ Applewood for your kind thoughts.

Harriet had a good night. I'm getting ready to go to the vet, the sonogram people are on the way.

The sonogram was CLEAR. Wonderful news. The bad news is we have no diagnosis. Harriet is staying another day and they will start water and feeding under controlled conditions. Of course I wanted to bring her home, but this is the best for her. I took Hank for moral support. I was even  mature enough to leave without seeing her because she'd be so upset when I left again. She should be home tomorrow.

Thanks for the update.  Good for you, doing what's best for her!

 @austingirl   Is the vet going to run more tests? 

Anyway, I pray Harriet recovers swiftly  so she can be reunited with you and Hank.

@Applewood
Not at this time. I'm starting to think it was the Bravecto three month flea pill she got last week that caused the vomiting because there isn't another explanation. She didn't vomit during her earlier episodes of "bad tummy." Her diet will be very strict and I am hoping for the best.

She kept food and water down at the vet today and I'll bring her home tomorrow.

Thanks, everyone for your support.

I bet getting home will lift her spirits and recovery.  I hope so!

By the time you read this, I hope Harriet will be home and feeling much better.  I'm sure Hank will be happy to see her. 

I will continue my prayers for Harriet's recovery.  Do keep us posted on her condition.

@Sanguine @Suppressed @Applewood

Harriet is home with a pretty pink bandage on her IV site. She was subdued when I went to get her out of the cage. She didn't rush out as I thought she would. Maybe she couldn't believe her eyes. Hank walked right the cage and nuzzled her. Once she realized we were at the house, her tail started wagging and she knew she was home. Right now she is resting quietly next to me on the couch.

The vet thinks it's quite possible that it was Bravecto. She is on a special diet for three days and I'll be careful adding back foods as instructed. Her periodic tummy gurgles and this episode may be unrelated. I hate not knowing the cause but I'm so relieved and happy to have her home.

So glad Harriet is home.  I looked up Bravecto and it does list nausea/vomiting as a side effect, but then again, so do most other meds -- for humans too as well as pets.    Sure hope  a switch in meds, plus diet and such will help.
