Tobey went back in vet since he has become so picky and hardly eating anymore. He lost 3 lbs total since this began. He was almost a 13lb cat and is now 10. I can barely stand going through this but I am a mother of 2 girls and I have to hold it together somehow. He was my baby before I had kids. Of course I can't even give insulin because he won't eat enough. Vet said he shows high liver levels. 2 areas of liver readings and the one of concern is not the one where he is at risk for fatty liver so much, but showing signs of either hepatitis C or pancreatitis, or an infection. He is a former IBD patient from 2 years ago so he may have had a flare up in intestine and it affected his liver and pancreas. Now I am force feeding only small amounts at a time. It is not enough food. He seems to try to eat but backs off because he is nauseated. He is on anti nausea & vomiting pill, appetite stimulant pill, and an antacid. Also just started antibiotic. I just don't understand how my cat can go from vestibular disease, take steroids for 3 weeks, get weaned off then immediately have diabetes, and now Hep C?? What the heck? I feel like my vet caused all of this. I don't trust a lot of vets. They cause more than they fix. Now I just need to get him to eat. I have tried so many different foods. We just started meds 12 hours ago so hopefully they'll kick in soon. I gave 2nd round of those meds this morning so I won't know much until I get back home from work in about 5 hours. All I want right now is to get this boy to eat more. Wish I could find that food he just can't resist. Force feeding Royal Canin Recovery and he hates it.
