Hope he's got that out of his system, in all possible ways.

So pleased Riley is better now

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #55 on:** July 16, 2012, 21:46:08 PM »

Glad he's ok, what a relief

I had a similar thing with Willow, one of my foster cats - she was always eating grass. Its worrying how poorly it can make them isnt it?

So he's trying to smother you in repayment for vet visit Helen

Glad that his fighting spirit has returned ..........

Sorry you had to go through that Helen and hope all is well between the boys again

Very good news

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #49 on:** July 16, 2012, 13:48:48 PM »

Very very pleased to hear that Helen.

Janeyk · « **Reply #48 on:** July 16, 2012, 13:05:06 PM »

I'm so glad to hear that, probably a combination of still feeling a bit groggy and waiting until he felt safe to come out ('you're not taking me back there again!)

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #47 on:** July 16, 2012, 12:07:19 PM »

So pleased that Riley is back to normal

Sorry , missed this over the weekend

Glad to hear that Riley is well. Must be a huge weight off your mind.

Dawn F · « **Reply #45 on:** July 16, 2012, 11:39:12 AM »

sorry I missed this Helen, glad he is ok, Tilly had a similar thing a couple of years back but in her case she was fine by the time we got to the vet - she was foaming at the mouth and her tongue was hanging out so far I was convinced she had swallowed a bee but grass was what the vet decided and it had obviously worked its way down by the time we got to the vets!

clarenmax · « **Reply #44 on:** July 16, 2012, 11:35:51 AM »

Aww poor wee man, so pleased he's OK and is back to normal again.

Gorgeous photos as always

Thanks everyone, I'm pleased to report that Riley has finally ventured out from under the bed! I was woken up by him sleeping on my head and have never been so pleased

He's looking and behaving like normal so I think he was just feeling rough from his mouth foaming/drooling/vomiting episode.

Stuart · « **Reply #42 on:** July 16, 2012, 09:23:24 AM »

How is Mr Riley today Helen??

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #41 on:** July 16, 2012, 09:00:55 AM »

Very much hope everything's OK now Helen?

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #40 on:** July 16, 2012, 07:02:48 AM »

Just popping by to ask how he is Helen? Am hoping he's come out from under the bed.

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #39 on:** July 15, 2012, 23:11:14 PM »

Don't know how I missed this - I saw it and thought it was an old thread for some reason.

Porr Riley and poor you.

I hope he's feeling better now and eating again. Biggles had a sudden panting episode earlier this year with his eyes rolling and was generally out of it and off his food. The emergency vet treated him for a resoiratory infection even though his temp was normal and his lungs sounded OK. When he saw our usual vet the day after she thought it might be a blade of grass stuck under his palate and said that was quite common. Fortunately whatever it was went away of its own accord so I hope Riley's does the same.

ChrisB · « **Reply #38 on:** July 15, 2012, 23:06:08 PM »

Do hope that Riley is soon back to his usual self

What a handsome boy

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #37 on:** July 15, 2012, 20:35:17 PM »

It's evil stuff!

I do cut the lawn regularly but the rockery is literally at waist height with stray grass - at first I left it as it was 'jungle like' for them but it's got longer and longer and there hasn't been a dry day when I'm off to get rid of it all (it will need hand pulling). One things for sure they won't be going back out til it's done!

I think the vet thought I was exagerating when I said how much he eats - she said she found a 'really long' bit in the carrier mixed up with mucous but it really was a teeny bit in comparision to his normal offerings!

cazzer · « **Reply #36 on:** July 15, 2012, 20:29:05 PM »

sorry to hear Riley hasn't been well, and hope he is back to normal soon. To be honest I blame grass for making my Karlo ill last year. {Remember he had problems walking and was eventually found to have a very bad belly and was eventually found to have IBD}. It kept coming and going as well [probably cos he destroyed one lot of grass and then had to wait for another lot to grow]. A couple of weeks before he became ill I bought some cat grass seeds and sowed some. When I brought them into the house for the cats he went crazy for it, within days he became ill. I've never let them have any since I realised the possible connection.

Poor Riley. Is it possible he ate something other than grass, that didn't agree with him?

I don't think so, the garden is catproofed so no access to any other food etc When he came in to be sick I'd just rug doctored the carpets so was keen for him not to chuck up on the clean carpets so tried to put some well aimed kitchen roll under him. This distracted him and it's almost like he couldn't get the grass up on the first few goes so it's got stuck? Not blaming myself it's just that normally he chucks it up no problems but this time when he couldn't get it up it triggered the frothing/droolong/panting which he doesn't normally do.

I think he still feels a bit fragile as the vomiting was really quite violent and imagine his tummy will be a bit sore still. He's just so sociable it's unheard of for him to have no human contact in 24 hours

Thanks all, he drank the water that I put under there and has had half a pouch of RC sensitive but he still won't come out

tab · « **Reply #32 on:** July 15, 2012, 19:58:21 PM »

Im so sorry I missed this. I really hope he's ok now and come out from under the bed. I know Mogs used to hide away when she felt ill and when she'd been to the vet (Amber just likes to be under the bed when I want her)
I hope he's drunk and eaten something soon. As we know as humans when you feel really sick you dont want to be sociable or eat or anything but it passes and I hope thats what it is

love
Tab

So sorry that Riley isnt better and sending lots of good vibes for him

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #30 on:** July 15, 2012, 18:24:15 PM »

This is not good Helen

Did he eat/drink at all yesterday? Have ya tried putting some tuna juice in water? Sorry; just clutching at straws. Don't like the sound of not drinking

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #29 on:** July 15, 2012, 17:26:05 PM »

Oh Helen.

That's not like Riley.

Sending loving vibes for our poorly little sodja, and hoping he rallies so that another vet visit isn't necessary.

Tigerlily (Allison) · « **Reply #28 on:** July 15, 2012, 16:14:27 PM »

Hope he picks up soon Helen

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #27 on:** July 15, 2012, 15:36:57 PM »

He's still under there

He ALWAYS sleeps on my bed at night but didn't come out at all, he's never sulked when he's been to the vets before so I think he's gone under there due to feeling unwell, he hasn't eaten either. I put some water under there which he has drunk, he lost so much liquid yesterday he must ahve been dehydrated.

If he's no better by the morning he'll have to go back to the vets.

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #26 on:** July 15, 2012, 12:17:59 PM »

Aww poor Riley! What a scary time

but I'm glad he's ok. I trust he's ventured out from under the bed by now.

Ain't that the truth

How is he Helen? Hoping none of the previous occurrence overnight?

and that Lu will forgive the weird vet smell quickly .......... I thought I had remembered right that there was a vet smell reaction in the past. Strange how much they are governed by smell more than any other sense isn't it

It's a lovely day here today and hope they can go for a nice wander about the garden where's there's lots of lovely smells but hoping the grass munching is kept under control

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #24 on:** July 15, 2012, 07:02:46 AM »

Helen - have just seen this. How's Riley this morning? What a horrible scare for you. Am hoping our bestest little guy is feeling much more like his usual self today and not too phased by his vet visit.

Hugs for all three of you

(What a handsome lad our Riley is......

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #23 on:** July 14, 2012, 23:48:54 PM »

I am sure he is just punishing you and will be out if you ignore him

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #22 on:** July 14, 2012, 23:16:44 PM »

Hmmn, now he won't come out from under the bed

I've been checking on him every so often and he seems OK but normally he wouldn't be able to resist coming when I call him. Hope he's OK under there as there is zero chance of me reaching him and the mattress is way to heavy to lift off completely.

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #21 on:** July 14, 2012, 22:26:05 PM »

Thanks everyone

Riley is sulking under the bed upstairs and Lu is down with me so he hasn't noticed the vet smell yet, last time Riley stayed in Lu was quite hissy with him for a day or two afterwards which was a bit upsetting. Hopefully he wasn't there long enough this time to pick up the smell.

It really was quite frightening, he often upchucks grass and I just try and get a bit of kitchen roll under him and it's over in 30 seconds - this time he had foam and drool hanging off his face, he was howling and sticking his tongue out, combined with the panting I thought I was going to lose him

Before I realised how bad it was I was a bit annoyed as at 11am I had hired a rug doctor and cleaned the carpets, by 5pm he was being sick on the carpet in various places as he ran from spot to spot throwing up - obviously I couldn't care less about the carpet now but before I realised how bad he was I was

Sorry I missed this Helen

Glad to hear that Riley is ok though now, give him a snuggle from me please

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #19 on:** July 14, 2012, 22:16:05 PM »

Very much relieved to hear this young chap is back home wiv his ma and his bro where he belongs. Bet he is too

Nasty horrid scare Helen so sending many

to you and the gorgeous Lu.
