What a day! My mom and I moved my (heavy) mattress and bed frame out of my room this morning and put down a new pad and rug (yay! I need this to keep my bed from sliding across the floor and it was my birthday present. My birthday was in January. I took my time

. So that was a lot of work in the heat but we got it done and it looks so nice.
Then the cat had to go to the vet for a check-up and shots. No big deal, just a pain because she hates the experience. But working together we easily loaded her up and we were in and out in 50 minutes with a very clean bill of health so it couldn't have been easier. Until we got home and she started vomiting. At first I thought it was from the stress but it kept on and on and she was throwing up nothing but phlegm so back to the vet. (Thank God the vet is 7 minutes from home). She scared me on the way because she wasn't crying and if I reached in her carrier and touched her she'd move away but not cry. So they got her in and she had a fever, was breathing very fast and was generally a sick little girl. They thought she might need oxygen but after observing her for 45 minutes her breathing slowed down to half what it started at. She got nausea and benadryl shots and actually stopped vomiting before I left my house (but she clearly needed to be seen).
We're home now and she's staying under my bed. She's kept food and water down. She just doesn't like me much right now. I'm not sure if she's mad at me or just groggy and not engaging with me.
I feel so bad for her. She's allergic to her rabies shot but nothing like this. With that one she threw up a few times after she got it so she gets a shot of benadryl before she gets it. Between my mom and I we cleaned up about 20 vomits this time. She had to have felt (and feels) awful. The vet recommended avoiding shots unless she needs them to board. I'm just going to have to find someone who can check in on her when I am away after this year. I've never tried that because she is shy and I'm not sure a petsitter would ever lay eyes on her.
I probably need to climb under my bed and make sure she's still there. She was when I took a shower and she's not been visible since then so I'm pretty sure she is but she also hid behind the couch for a long time.This is weird; she usually is right by me all the time.
All the stress has left me tired!
