Hi folks. Well I promised you an update today but I wish it was a better one. Rocky is back in hospital as of this afternoon. He hadn't eaten a thing since Thursday night when he first came home and nothing I tried would get him to even try to eat. The Mirtazapine seemed to make him really confused and out of it. He just wandered around the house not walking normally. He would take a drink of water and completely ignore the food.
So Anyway Doug and I decided that the best thing we could do was bring him back in so that he could be assisted fed over the weekend and could receive an IV again if he needs it. He's also going to try a different appetite stimulant . Come Monday if he still won't take anything on his own we may go to a feeding tube. Feeding tubes don't really scare me. Tori had one when she had such bad Gastritis that she almost died. It saved her life and I had 3 more years with her. A feeding tube would make it a for sure thing that I'd be able to give Rocky the nutrition he needs with a minimum of trauma to either of us. What do you folks think? There is so much knowledge here in Lantus Land and I so value your opinions. I want to do what is best for my boy. He deserves the best I can do for him.
So kitties of the KTSS we need your help again. Rocky needs more of your wonderful chicken soup and some company. And Beans we need your prayers.
I've got to run and get ready for work. I'll check in again tomorrow. I am so grateful for my LL family.
