[Pet Health/Probably Fine Confirmed fine!] How'd you expect to start your weekend? Mine certainly wasn't at an emergency vet to make a cat throw up.
Zigzag Stampede
Our clever baby Berna ate a raisin that I dropped.
𝖒𝖚𝖗𝖉𝖊𝖗 𝖔𝖋 𝖖𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖘
oh noooo
𝖒𝖚𝖗𝖉𝖊𝖗 𝖔𝖋 𝖖𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖘
i didnt even realize raisins were poisonous to cats
𝖒𝖚𝖗𝖉𝖊𝖗 𝖔𝖋 𝖖𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖘
(i do not have a cat)
Zigzag Stampede
Called and they said that while she could be fine there is that one in a hundred chance that it could cause serious issues. So here we are.
Zigzag Stampede
They can be toxic and lead to kidney failure. And it's random. They can eat one and be fine. Eat another and become very sick
papermint tiger
cats
cluelessnu
We feel like idiots for not grabbing it fast enough and she is giving all the sad squeaks at us
cluelessnu
The emergency vet is packed tonight too
Zigzag Stampede
I'm probably over reacting, but I just had flashes of thoughts of being overseas next week and Nu calling me to say Berna has gotten sick.
Zigzag Stampede
So I wanted to say I've done all I can before I go.
Jemisaur
Berna. Berna.
Zigzag Stampede
And while I know there are actual emergencies that need immediate attention more than us a part of me is sitting here going MAKE MY BABY THROW UP NOW
Zigzag Stampede
Before she digests more.
Zigzag Stampede
Which wanting the cat to throw up is mildly amusing. Considering I was cursing her this morning for throwing up in the hall because she ate too fast.
Zigzag Stampede
WHY COULDN'T YOU THROW UP ON YOUR OWN NOW, BERNA? You little jerk.
ƒrîght˚˖𓍢ִ໋ 🦇
Oh, Berna.
Zigzag Stampede
It's always Berna
Zigzag Stampede
Aw, this vet is actually pretty good. A nurse came by with bowls so people can offer their cats in crates drinks.
Zigzag Stampede
Berna is currently in the back HOPEFULLY throwing up.
𝓟𝓮𝓸𝓷𝔂🌸𝓟𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓼𝓼
Berna!
𝓟𝓮𝓸𝓷𝔂🌸𝓟𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓼𝓼
And no, you’re not overreacting. I’m glad you’re taking this seriously and hopefully Berna will be okay. Cat, please.
Zigzag Stampede
No throw up after half an hour. We were warned that cats are known for being hard to get to throw up. So this may just be an expensive blood work visit
Zigzag Stampede
But, like with her leg, it's worth the price because as much as I hate my job and I don't think it pays as well as it should - it does pay decently. So we can afford to say we tried everything we can.
Zigzag Stampede
Hopefully this is a big overreaction and she'll have no ill effect. But if she does then we will only feel bad for not stopping her in time. Not feel bad because we didn't stop her in time and didn't try anything to help.
cluelessnu
Apparently she is hiding under a blanket in the back and the nurse feels sorry for her as she's clearly miserable about being here.
Zigzag Stampede
In other news. I've had two people compliment my Trigun shirt. Including the nurse who didn't know there was a Trigun reboot this year, but he sure knows now.
ToMOMe
Berna omfg
ToMOMe
what cat eats raisins you weirdo?????
Zigzag Stampede
This is also the cat that will bypass chicken to eat lettuce sooooooooo not really a surprise
ToMOMe
𝖒𝖚𝖗𝖉𝖊𝖗 𝖔𝖋 𝖖𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖘 : FYI grapes and raisins are super toxic to dogs too
ToMOMe
Zigzag Stampede
Newest update. She has peed and poo but no throw up
Zigzag Stampede
They don't think they're going to be able to get her to throw up. So expensive blood work so they can compare and make sure her kidneys are okay
Monster Muffin
aaaaaaaa heathen gremlin kitties. why they gotta also be trash goblins
cluelessnu
I did know that they weren't good for dogs. Didn't know about the cat thing unfortunately
cluelessnu
Berna has had access to grapes before as an old housemate was fond of them but Berna was more interested in playing with the ball shaped things and making us accident ly step on them once she got them to the hallway.
cluelessnu
Apparently raisins look more like food
ToMOMe
yeah /siiiiiiiiiigh
Zigzag Stampede
It's been 5 hours since she ate it. Poor baby thought she found herself a special treat and has no idea why we stuffed her in a box
Zigzag Stampede
Probably thinks we're taking another leg
cluelessnu
She is getting treats in some form when we get home. Even if it's just allowing her to eat her sisters food instead
Zigzag Stampede
You know, whenever she gets out from hiding under the bed.
ToMOMe
are you guys back home?
Zigzag Stampede
Not yet and it's past midnight now.
ToMOMe
:-(
Zigzag Stampede
This happened because I ate a raisin cookie before going to make dinner. I just wanted to make a joke about eating dessert before dinner.
Zigzag Stampede
HAD TO DROP A RAISIN
Zigzag Stampede
Not the corn chip part of the cookie. Nooooo. She couldn't eat that.
ready to rook
gods this is stressful. i'm sorry.
ToMOMe
your cookie had corn chips in it????
Zigzag Stampede
Probably the wrong word - think frosted flakes
Zigzag Stampede
CORNFLAKE that's the word I'm looking for
ToMOMe
LOLOLOL ok XDDDD
Zigzag Stampede
Nothing immediately alarming in blood work. Advice is give it 48 hours then take bloods to compare to the one they just took
ƒrîght˚˖𓍢ִ໋ 🦇
Oof. I'm sorry, and hopefully it's just going to be a 'don't do that again, Berna, omg'
Zigzag Stampede
I hope so. Although it did cost $500+ most expensive raisin ever.
Zigzag Stampede
Anyway, it is 1am and I'm finally cooking us dinner
ƒrîght˚˖𓍢ִ໋ 🦇
Enjoy dinner and get some rest, you two
Zigzag Stampede
https://images.plurk.com/3c8VI5atYxicgvG66JPAk4.jpg she's a bit grumpy, but has mostly forgiven us
Zigzag Stampede
Her neck is nakee https://images.plurk.com/4IFd35q1rH6bXf76W1yskt.jpg
Zigzag Stampede
(slightly red from disinfectant. Not blood)
ToMOMe
naked!
cluelessnu
we were squeaked at rather insistantly when we first got home which was a surprise as we were expecting her to retreat under the bed for a while
cluelessnu
but no, she demanded food and cuddles and was given the oodie temporarily
LadyRogue
Fingers crossed that she stays well.
Zigzag Stampede
I started my AC just before 7pm. Then one raisin cookie and vet visit later, it's finally been posted at 2am (LOL)
❄️𝒟𝒶𝒾𝓈𝒾𝑒𝓈
oh no!
Monster Muffin
awwwww baby
Monster Muffin
she gets the good fluffs now
Zigzag Stampede
24 hours later and Berna is still doing well. We have a follow up blood test to do tomorrow to confirm everything internally is also still good, but I'm thinking we got lucky and took her to the vets for nothing.

https://images.plurk.com/AhSaj5cwsuYSrJ9yvcB6r.jpg
Zigzag Stampede
But I'm still happier knowing for sure she's alright then having been left wondering
𝓟𝓮𝓸𝓷𝔂🌸𝓟𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓼𝓼
Yeah, exactly.
ƒrîght˚˖𓍢ִ໋ 🦇
Berna, baby.
LadyRogue
Always better to be sure. I'm glad she's still doing well!
ToMOMe
dumb little floof
ToMOMe
love her so much lol
cluelessnu
Back at the vets for the follow up. She was not happy and I think she knew as she was hiding under the bed when we tried to go
papermint tiger
better to be sure, yeah
papermint tiger
but look at that little cuddle baby, she looks so happy in that blanket
Zigzag Stampede
She was. And bloods have been extracted. Waiting on the results. This will tell us for sure that she got lucky and there has been no ill effect. Or if there is any hidden worry for us to take care of
Zigzag Stampede
Said it will be about 20 minutes. Berna is voicing her displeasure of them taking her blood and not returning it
ƒrîght˚˖𓍢ִ໋ 🦇
Aw, kitten.
Zigzag Stampede
Going to the vets is basically the only time we actually get to hear Berna meow. Otherwise she's usually a silent cat or a squeak at best.
ToMOMe
poor bb
Zigzag Stampede
She has many complaints that she feels is not being heard. I told her we hear them, we are just not listening to what she wants.
Zigzag Stampede
Blood tests are in and she's been given a clean bill of health!
LadyRogue
Hooray!!!
Zigzag Stampede
She got lucky and ate a raisin that didn't have the bad chemical in it.
Zigzag Stampede
Here she is back home and laying grumpily in the hall. https://images.plurk.com/kdzmW5C3eHaVSgDBKG7ty.jpg
Zigzag Stampede
No lessons will have been learned by her.
𝓟𝓮𝓸𝓷𝔂🌸𝓟𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓼𝓼
Oh thank goodness!
Zigzag Stampede
A very expensive trip to the vets for nothing, but I feel much better knowing it was nothing. I can go on my trip without worrying something might suddenly change
𝓟𝓮𝓸𝓷𝔂🌸𝓟𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓼𝓼
Exactly.
LadyRogue
Definitely better to know without any worries.
Jemisaur
Better to know. You're paying for peace of mind.
𝖒𝖚𝖗𝖉𝖊𝖗 𝖔𝖋 𝖖𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖘
hell yeah!
ƒrîght˚˖𓍢ִ໋ 🦇
Whew!
ToMOMe
Peace of mind is HUGE
Teeff
oh nooo
Zigzag Stampede
It is. Otherwise I would be constantly watching her for some sort of sign of illness and been stressed out for ages. Now we know she's fine.
