The day Sunny was sick 😥
The day Sunny was sick 😥

This is the first time poor Sunny was taken ill since I adopted him. I discovered him hiding under the bushy ferns in the garden and refused to come out. He would usually greet me when I call his name, but this time he stayed put.

Initially I thought that he hid because there were workmen in our garden, but apparently that wasn't the case. Shortly after I took this picture of Sunny, he thew up gastric juices on the bed.

As it was a Sunday, our regular vet was closed half day. Fortunately I called up a different vet and they told me to send him in the evening when the doctor was available.

Sunny threw up at least two more times before we rushed him to the vet. The vet noted no obstruction in his stomach or intestines and suggested it could be acute gastroenteritis from bad food or something that he had eaten.

He was given a metoclopramide injection to alleviate the nausea, a Vitamin B injection to boost his appetite and 200 ml of subcutaneous fluid infusion to rehydrate his body.

By nightfall Sunny started eating and he regained his full and enormous appetite the next morning. I am so relieved because taking care of Joey my other cat, who has Chronic Kidney Disease is already an ongoing challenge.
