this kind of thing is so hard, I can relate just having gone through this with my two babies as well.
It didn't end well for me but I pray that it will for you and Cello.

I'm here if you'd like to talk.

hang in there...

You and Cello stay in my thoughts and prayers. I feel so bad for you both to be going through this!

Just popping in to say that you and Cello have been on my mind, and I am sending lots of good energy your way.

hey, quick update since I'm at work.

Bloodwork done by the lab and not inhouse came back pretty normal (excellent)
sugar in the urine and blood went down today (excellent)

breathing is still stressed, coughing fits are quite bad so he is still on IV fluids and steroids......there is possible permanent lung damage (very bad)

He still won't eat (even worse)

He can't have surgery to put in an e-tube because his lungs are too weak for surgery. We can try a nasal tube if we have to.

Basically I'm not sure what to do. I have enough money to keep him in ICU on fluids and a possible nasal tube until Satuday, if he doesn't eat on his own by then, then I don't know what to do......

This is better then I thought yesterday, so lets all pray pray pray that cello eats.

Because Cello labs are normal, talk to your vet asap, about using an appetite stimulant. Read this whole article...
Cyproheptadine is one that is used but I imagine that your vet would know which one would be best for Cello.
It might be worth a try....
