Owner has 10 cats. About 1 week ago 5 of the cats started vomiting kibble. About 3 days ago they started to vomit blood. Porkchop was the only cat brought into the clinic today around 1345CST. No treatments performed. Owner does not know if the cats were exposed to this product or not. This is the only thing the owner can think of that they could have been exposed to. The owner was advised that would expect at most mild GI upset may be seen. Spoke to DVM, 5 cats started to get sick a week ago. The cats are not eating, not drinking, not using the littlerbox. Normal temp, dk stool. Mildly pale mm. Discussed that the product would not be expected to cause these signs especially for a prolonged period of time. Discussed caustic cleaning agents but the owner does not keep a lot of chemicals in the home. No known dropped pills. Discussed lab work on the cat that is there now.
