At vet cause Misty stopped eating. She had a little can food last night but plenty leftover this morning (4 oz can). Spoon fed it to her and she licked it but that was it. Took her outside. Covered in pee. She walked about 10 feet and collapsed to space out meowing. Fear of a rerun of Bilbo called sister and rushed to emergency vet. Her regular vet another 10 miles in West Des Moines. She perked up and making biscuits so hope I'm not too late. I just buried my Bilbo, I don't want to loose her too. Why did these cats have to stop eating so they can't fight the fleas when I gave them flea med to kill the buggers? Sprayed the house multiple times.
Update: Misty has anemia. Vet said cheap flea meds over time result in medical resistance in the fleas so they keep reproducing. Vet recommended a flea bomb. She is getting medicine to kill fleas and keep them off 3 months.
Home now. Misty had a spoonful of can food and drinking water. She got a Capstar that makes fleas drop off immediately and a topical med to be flea free for 3 months. Bought a flea fogger. Found a flea comb, but didn't have enough money for both so buy tomorrow. My roommate did the fogger and I took Misty outside.
Got called into work to drive the shuttle. F No. Told them I have an anemic cat who needs me. Vet said she needs calm so no trauma, no outside, no bath. She wants me with her or she meows.
Tried syringe feeding her her can can food mixed with water. Sleeping next to her on the couch tonight.
