Eno has been with me through my divorced years, and adopted my wonderful husband and his son in the last five years. In fact , he is daddy's boy. Fripp(his bro) and Eno are 10 1/2 years old. Eno was diagnosed on Monday with congestive heart failure. We took him to the vet after noticing a severe weight loss, and rapid breathing. He was hospitalized for one night. (Over $1000) and sent home with meds. He is not eating, he is on pain meds, a diuretic and heart pill. He wont take a pill pocket so I am doing the pills by hand. Vet is not a fan of pill shooters. He is lethargic , but is purring and somewhat responsive to my presence. Although he is getting pissed because I keep showing up with pills. Is there a way to get him to eat. Vet gave a canned special food (we have been on dry food for years) he is not eating. Today he suggested fancy Feast. Still not interested. Vet suggested a specialist that couldput in a stomach tube. I am pretty sure the bill would wipe us out. I truly am at a loss. Can we recover from this?
