Since we brought Carmelo home, Kobe has not been eating like normal. He mostly stays in one room in a loaf position. He has been eating half pate and half kibbles for a year and a half. Always very kibble motivated. Right now, It's all we can do to get him to eat the kibbles. Tested BG yesterday and he was 79. Last night Dean and I decided to give Kobe Cerenia, Ondansetron, and some Gabapentin. I was hoping to see him acting like the meds helped, but I can't tell that they did.

I am really struggling to have them both not well like this. I am losing it.
 
I use powdered whole egg sometimes. Maybe syringe in that or another food for the moment? Maybe Kobe will eat a little more once he has some food on board that way.
Major struggles, and with two cats! Sending big hugs!
 
I’m so sorry you’ve had so much going on 😢
Do you think he could have pancreatitis? The symptoms seem like it’s possible with the loaf position, not eating and isolating (in pain?)

It’s good you’ve given him the right meds, and Ondansetron can be given every 8 hours.
Do you think he should be seen by the vet to assess what’s going on.

He may need some fluids and buprenorphine if it’s pancreatitis. (I hope not) 🙏

I'm so sorry to hear that Kobe is also not feeling well. When it rains, it pours, right? My guess is that you'll take him to the vet tomorrow. Please keep us posted. Sending vines 🍃 🍃 🍃 🍃 🍃 🍃 🍃 🍃 🍃 🍃 to both Kobe and Carmelo.
 
I was taught in the Forum by a very wise member, When Corky was first diagnosed I was at the point of a nervous breakdown, even my neighbors saw it, and then this member said to me "Take a step back, breath in, breath out, cats are very sensitive to stress, you stress, they stress" and I would do anything to make things right, but I began to repeat this phrase, in my mind, and I began to concentrate better, and things got better, because I WAS literarily losing it , emotionally and physically; Hoping that you, Carmelo and Kobe get better soon, you need to be ok, they both need you:bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:🫶
