DC didn't have a very good day. He was still vomiting (clear mucus) and not eating this morning.
He won't even eat his favorite HC or MC foods not even the gravy. I even tried to give him boiled chicken and he wouldn't touch that either or baby food.
He wouldn't even touch the dry EVO that I have in the basement. I tried to give him 1 piece just to see if he would eat it and nothing.
I tried to syringe feed him last night and he would not have any part of it.
He was wailing like he was being murdered and then he bolted dragging his back legs and howling.
He was very traumatized by the whole thing.
I also started giving him 1/4 pepcid with his PM shot last night and again with his AM shot today.
I took him to the vet @ AM +4.
They did the fPLI & T4 bloodwork. I'll get the T4 result tomorrow and the fPLI next week on Monday.
She said he doesn't seem to be in pain and everything else is good. He is not dehydrated and has no temperature.
He finally ate at the vet. Only some Medi-Cal dry treats, but at this point I don't care what he eats as long as it's something.
The vet gave 20cc of fluid SubQ so she could send me home with some in case DC got dehydrated or stopped drinking.
I've never used it before so had no idea what to do. She showed me everything with it.
She also sent me home with some Medi-Cal Recovery food. I don't know the carbs on it. I do know it's made by Royal Canin.
She said she wouldn't want me to use it as a regular food, but most cats will eat it even when they don't feel well and at this point it's better for him to eat something.
It's a high calorie food and DC has lost 1.3 lbs in 2 weeks.
I gave him some when we got home and he actually ate about an 1/8 can. So far he has kept it down.
I'm guessing at this point it's better for him to eat anything rather than nothing.
