Espy looking better!
Reasonably good news. The drooling has stopped and he's eating some.
He wasn't eating is regular ProPlan stuff that he usually likes (salmon and rice) so I gave him the emergency can of 9 Lives and he devoured the crap. He still isn't eating his Temptations (yellow bag) treats. I think they aren't smelly enough. The tests showed elevated liver enzymes but no abnormal CBC or glucose. The vet thinks that the liver result could also be a result of something that he ate, so we're going with the "he ate something bad" hypothesis. We'll finish the magic pink elixir (amoxicillin) anyway and then run another chem screen just to check the liver. Doc says it's ok to let him go back outside so, being almost 50F today, he's in the backyard. Nipsy, the big wuss, is clogging my lap as I'm typing. All in all, a good report. |

Have you noticed that the yellow Temptations bags don't really reseal like the others do? We quit buying yellow because of that and they don't like orange much (Tantalizing Turkey) so we're just doing blue, purple, and green now. Candace |

On the other hand I have about fifteen packages and perhaps a new lot number is to blame? They have the resealable ridges on them. |

They had the ridges on them, they just didn't "engage" like they're supposed to. I doubt they were the same lot # as we got them over a period of a couple months. Very strange. Maybe we'll try again soon. Glad your boy is better. Candace |

So I called the vet and he said to stop worrying (not in that exact phrase) and not to bother bringing him in. Finish the magic pink elixir and bring him in to check the liver functions when it's done. And of course now I think he looks thin and I can feel every rib but I guess I'm just being hyper about it. Vet said to worry about the sneezing only if he keeps doing it. Apparently they get allergies just like we do and that's what he has. He's had a run of questions about cats sneezing lately. I feel better for having called though. |
