Just wanted to give an update! Braxton is doing SO much better! He's eating and drinking again and has even had a BM! I have never been so happy to see cat crap in the box haha (docs originally thought he might have a blockage.) He is still on meds for the next few days and I switched his food...

What kind of food should I put him on now? Some kind of sensitive stomach food? Suggestions welcome, thanks!

Thank you! It's not as much as before, but baby steps!!! :):):)

HE'S EATING, HE'S EATING!!! But ONLY in the middle of the night! Is that normal? He is peeing great in the box, but I am being vigilant because if the pee spots keep getting smaller and smaller he may need more subq fluids. Yesterday was his last day on Cerenia and today is day 4 of no...

Ok, called Vet and the doctor that gave him the Diazepam injection wasn't there but the doc there said he doesn't think Braxton should be on it and should continue on his course of meds :( I just have him another (upped) dose of pain meds. I'm getting very impatient! I know I shouldn't be, but I...

OH and the good news is that he hasn't vomited in 3 days!! He's definitely feeling better.  He has kept down everything that I've syringe fed him.

Here is what he is on: Cerenia (took last dose today) has been on it for a week Buprenorphine .18-.36 mL every 12 hours (have been doing the low end, will do high end from now on) Mirtazapine 15 mg 1/4 tablet every other day (I feel like this isn't doing anything) Zantac .5-.75 mls twice a...

I don't think meds are working. Mirtazapine isn't making him hungry or thirsty. What is the dosage for Pepcid? I spent $20 on generic Zantac compound at the Pharmacy! :( The only think that has made him eat/drink instantly was the $40 Valium injection at the Vet yesterday. And even then he...

Update: ate a little in the middle of the night! But not enough so I'm still syringe feeding him. Also, no BM yet... He won't eat or drink during the day! When will he get better? :(

Well, he hasn't eaten on his own since he was at the vet! :( dunking him is a brilliant idea! I'm fairly certain stress caused this one (his first one.) we were out of town for quite some time, but had a care giver come over several times a week to feed/water/scoop. Never again!!!

Encouraging news!! Took him in today for more subq fluids and the doc gave him a Valium injection to help his appetite and he ate some Royal Canin Recovery food right away! On his own!!!!! Still have a long way to go, but at least my hope is coming back! :) thank you all for the encouragement!

Syringe fed him some wet food tonight, hasn't thrown it up (yet) we've added all of our vet bills and it's nearing the $1K and he's still not better. I'm losing hope...

Thank you all so much! We have only tried mirtazapine. Going to doc for more subq fluids tomorrow, they are really worried about him. His pancreas enzyme levels were borderline on Thursday, not sky high by any means so I think we are on the upswing but between the Cerenia and Zantac I was hoping...
