Angus is Sick

Angus' Mom here: I think Angus is having some hairball problems..he coughs like he wants to hak up a hairball after eating, but nothing comes up, has been very close to me or lying in places other than his usual spots, he's not eaten today, nor taken any water. I've managed to get him to take a few Temptations, but at this hour, 3:20 Central, he's refusing them. I've put several coats of petroleum jelly (the active ingredient in hairball remedies) on his paws and lips but have seen no result yet.

I would deeply appreciate your purrs and purrayers for him. I'm thinking of taking him to the V-E-T in the morning if there is no resolution this evening.

My thanks,

Chrissie

Angus, buddy, I feel yer pane! I git lots of hareballs myself. I love eeting Petromalt -- and the lady gits me Eukanooba Hairball Remedy food wich I eet like my mowth is a steemshuvvul. And she brushes me with the furminator evry nite so I don't eet so much hare. All theeze things seem to help. But it's always good to have the vet see yoo just to make shur yoo didn't swallow a rubberband.

I hope yoo feel better soon.

Millie said...

Oh jeez louise! I hope it is nothing serious! Hack up the hairball, Angus, you'll feel so much better!

Hey, Angus, hack up that hairball right now, so you can get to feeling better. I do hope that is all it is. Please do take him to the vet in the morning if things don't change in the meantime. I just read an article that said that these noises can indicate other problems.

Oh poor Angus! I hope you that hairball out soon! I think it's a good idea to see the Vet to make sure you are OK!

The Meezers said...

oh Angus, we hopes you feel better. maybe rocky is right, maybe the v-e-t needs to make shur that he didn't swallow anyfing else. or maybe a heimlich would werk.

Monty Q. Kat said...

Aw, dude. It's okay if you gotta hurl, sometimes a mancat has to do what a mancat has to do.

I agree with Rocky, I'd see the vet and make sure nothin else is going wrong.

(I recommend the couch for when it's time to hurl, makes for a comfy spot.)

THE ZOO said...

Zippy, Sadie and Speedy said...

Oh oh, did yoo eat something dat isn't food? We hate to say it but maybe a vet visit is a good idea. Yeah, we don't like to go either but he does seem to help lots of times.

Ruis said...

Oh Angus, we hope you are feeling better very soon. We also think it's the best to visit the vet today. If it is no hairball you maybe have a cold or something.

The Cat Realm said...

Poor Angus! I hope you feel better already but I think it is a good idea to see the VET! We had a friend once with those symptoms and it turned out he had eaten a LOOOOOOOONG string and was in serious trouble! All turned out well, but he had to stay overnight at the VET.... Get better soon! Purr purr purr purr purr purr

Beau said...

Angus, I'm soooo sorry you're sick and feel bad...and can't hack up whatever it is. Frankly, I hurl on a regular basis just to clear out my insides. Please go to the vet and have them take a look at you to make sure nothing else is wrong. Better safe than sorry!! Love you dude!
