God damn it.
My crazy Bengal got into my cabinet where I keep all my meds, vitamins and protein powders. Everything was sealed except a bottle of excedrin migraine I lost the top for and a 1/3rd full vyvanse pill (adhd med) that I left out of the bottle so I don't mix it with the full ones.
Well. She knocked down the excedrin migraine bottle and literally there geltabs everywhere. I don't know how she did it but they dispersed all over the counter, in the sink, on the floor, and then later I found one in her water dish partially dissolved (scary).
I didn't see the vyvanse pill so it got me worried. Well, about an hour later I notice her acting weird. She was just standing the same spot constantly turning her head in different directions and sniffing around. She def looked tweaked out
So I called animal poison control and told them it was either some of the excedrin migraine that was in her water or she ate the vyvanse. I wasn't sure which and had No evidence she did. They basically said that either is really harmful and to take her to the vet (especially the aspirin and acetametiphen in excedrin).
So I take her to the emergency vet hospital, and this fuckin doctor who didn't look a day over 22(kinda hot but who cares) says a few things and hands me an $800 invoice. We didn't even know if she took anything and she's talking about keeping her there overnight, doing all this bloodwork, placing a catheter inside her and giving her all these injections. I was like uh...did you even check her vitals? Obviously if she took a stimulant her heart rate would be elevated, and that was like 99% of the reason I took her to the vet because I worried about her heart.
So she comes back and says her heart rate is pretty normal. It was clear to me she had very little idea what the fuck she was doing, she presented me with like 5 different options of treatment and wasn't even sure the best course of action. Keep in mind the whole time my cat is freaking the fuck out. When they took her away from me it was 5 minutes straight of the most awful cat noises you could possibly imagine.
End result: they try to get her to throw up by sedating her, doesn't work. They sedate her again and give her fluids via subq. Then they give me some activated charcoal syringes and muscle relaxers to give her when I get home. $350 fuckin dollars and they didn't even do any bloodwork etc
When I got home, she was doing the same god damn thing before I even took her there. It was pretty much a complete waste of time and money. I'm pretty sure she ate the vyvanse because of how long it lasted and now I think its finally wearing off (I've had to stay up all night watching her).
I felt like I was in that king of the hill episode where Hank is catsitting for a Marine and the marine's vet does all these uneccessary and over the top procedures and tests.
