Though, the fact that he has a
good appetite makes me a little less worried. It's when they stop
eating that really makes me nervous.

They'll probably want to do more bloodwork and maybe x-rays initially to see if
there's a blockage. Sometimes they will just treat the symptoms after
that...maybe with a food change or reglan. My late cat was on reglan syrup for
the last weeks of his life, he hated it, though. Apparenly some vets will give
you reglan injection to administer yourself but my vet wouldn't. The vet might
suggest a diet change to one of the non-allergenic foods, lamb and rice or duck
and rice, or whatever that stuff is. Is your cat having normal bowel
movements? If so, he probably isn't blocked.
