He spent the night isolated in the bathroom with no light. Had a pill @ 10
PM and I made him swallow some tuna juice from a spoon tipped into his
mouth. He was not amused.

First thing this morning he used the litterbox - the poo was not much,
dark
and very loose. I assume the dark color is from the charcoal tablets (I
stopped giving them after the 2nd vet visit).

Next, he got several small syringes with tuna juice and several more with
water, and he fought to keep me from giving it, but I persisted. Then he
got
another cephalexin pill. This time it dissolved in his mouth, and he
didn't
seem to mind the taste very much. Not like when he had to take this drug
in
liquid form and shredded several towels in the process of avoiding it.

His balance is still way off and all he wants to do is sleep. I made a
puree
of shrimp for him last night and pushed a bit of it into his mouth. That
went over like a lead balloon with the cat who lives for shrimp treats,
but
the rest of the clowder gladly hoovered it up.




Still sending concentrated purrs.

Excellent, excellent news!

Here's some mo I got a few ounces of gravy from some wet cat food
into him, and a few ounces of water, and a teaspoon or so of baby
food, and another antibiotic capsule that went down easy and on the
first try! He slept next to me when I took a nap for an hour this
afternoon. His balance seems to have improved just a small bit, maybe
5%. That good enough for one day. I plan on forcing some more food
and water into him before this night is over.

Sounds good, continuing purrs.

This sounds very good. I hope he starts to eat on his own soon. I imagine
forcing him is unpleasent for both of you.

For a few seconds, but it's the first purr I've heard from him in over 48
hours! He also yawned and licked another kitty's head!

Abelard is back....

Excellent news! Go, Abelard!
