Oliver's Not Feeling Well / myLot

He hasn't eaten much for two days and he's thrown up quite a few times the last two days. He's been very playful and loving and acts like himself otherwise though. He is drinking plenty of water. We're keeping an eye on him in case we have to take him to the vet. We've only had Oliver for 2 months.

Has he coughed up any hairballs?

Yes that's what we think the problem is. Hairballs.

@LooeyVille I thought so. Don't give him any food for maybe the next 24 hours But keep him hydrated

We had a spell when Cal got sick several times a day with projectile vomiting, became quite skinny and was scratching and biting so bad he was tearing his hair out. It turned out to be that we bought a bag of food that was cheap and on sale at Big R and that was the culprit. But it scared us a bit until we figured it out.

Well Oliver's got some kind of "allergies" or something. We knew this when we rescued him - the vet at the shelter said his ears itch him quite a bit but they didn't find evidence of mites or issues - basically they didn't know what was causing it. So maybe it's that acting up so much that he can't eat. We wash his ears out with a kleenex and baby oil to try to help

@LooeyVille Hopefully you can find a remedy. It was obvious when Cal was going through his ordeal he was miserable and it just pained me to see him like that.
