    No, no fluids. She felt his abdomen and said he didnt have hard stool. He actually pooped early this morning and it was soft (I mixed a little pumpkin with his food).

    I've been giving him water through a syringe regularly as well. He's on clindamycin, two doses a day. Hes also taking a probioyic supplement with his food. Ive just contacted my vet, but their office is closed on Sundays.

    Very Sick Cat

    A couple of weeks ago, I noticed my cat (a five year old male) was acting very lethargiv and wasnt eating much. I took him to the vet -- she gave me some antibiotics and special high calorie food to try. The antibiotics were to treat what she suspected was a dental infection, possibly...
