Glad she is OK. I would probably play it safe and give 1/2 a piriton in this situation in case there is swelling blocking airways. It sounds like she is fine now anyway  :hug:

Just an update,  rung the vets,  they said to leave her to sleep and keep an eye on her,   about 10 minutes ago she ate some chicken and drunk some water,   I am happier now she has eaten and drunk so will keep an eye on her and she what happens - thanks for you help x

Poor girl, if she doesnt seem right I agree I would definitely ring the vets to be safe, they should be able to advise you over the phone  :hug:

Hi sorry to hear about your cat. If you ring your vets there should be an emergency number you can call then hopefully you will be able to speak to a nurse who will advise you on what to do. Hopefully she should be allright let us know how you get on :hug:

My cat Piccalli was out with me this afternoon in the garden,  at about 5PM she ate something from the grass,  could have been a bee or a wasp or something else,  she immediately was sick and carried on being sick or attempting to be sick for about 30 minutes,  her breathing was really fast and she was very aggitated,  she calmed down and ever since has been sleeping on the sofa really quietly,  she wont eat or drink and is definitely not herself,   (poisoning is not a possibility,  we live on an organic farm and there are no chemicals at all used),  so has she been stung in the throat or something worse,  I dont know if I should take her to the vets,  they are closed now and my vets is a £190 call out,  I have the money,  (wouldnt be able to eat for a few weeks !) ,  it is not really the money I am worried about,  it is Piccalli,  should I leave her to see how she is in a few hours or take her to the vets ?  she is purring and sleeping but def not herself,  has anyone else had a cat eat a bee or a wasp ?,  what happens ?,  thanks in advance for you help x
