Default Rhett needs purrs

Purrs for Rhett, and for his worried Meowmie.


Thanks Joy. We're just back from the ER. I had syringed him some water
to keep him hydrated, just sort of drizzling some in his mouth. After
about 15 mins he started howling, laying on his side and I got scared.

TED xrayed him because he couldn't find a cause for the diarrhea and
found that his colon is completely empty but full of gas. No fever,
mostly looks ok. So for the diarrhea he gave him an injection of
famotidine along with some B vitamins to stimulate his appetite. Also
gave him some subq fluids. Gave me some flagyl to give him orally but
mostly wants me to give him some yogurt a couple of times a day. He
actually came home and ate some food. I hope it doesn't go straight
through him but it's good to see him eat something.
