Well Thirteen has been fine since we got back from the emergency vet. Very sleepy, which is normal for her these days. Plus I'm sure the experience tired her out. I'd rather see her sleeping all day than pacing compulsively. And no more throwing up.
She seems to really like chicken. We've been chopping it up fine and mixing it with brown rice and a blob of Nutrical. She ate it right up. I think she would have eaten more but I was afraid too much food too fast would make her sick. Maybe we'll try some more later tonight.
So, I don't know what Monday night was about. We have an appt. at Cole Park first thing tomorrow and I'm going to ask them what I should do if it happens again. Also, the emergency vet faxed their records from Monday night over to St. Francis, who called this morning to check and make sure Thirteen was okay. That was nice.
ETA: Just gave Thirteen another bowl of chicken and rice, which she ate right up. I wonder how the calorie content compares to kibble? She ate a much higher volume of food today than when she was eating kibble, but that might not mean more nutrition.

I would think that just about any meat dish would be higher calorie (by volume) than kibble, but if it's a special high-calorie kibble then maybe not.
There are really high-calorie foods available from vets--we used them during the recovery periods after Courageous couldn't eat. I can't remember if you've tried any of them for Thirteen.
