My J.R. suddenly stopped eating; Wednesday is the last time I can actually remember him eating. We have a multi-cat household and although I try to keep my "radar" out, I just missed this. I took him to our vet this morning. Blood tests show nothing conclusive, but Dr. K. is suspecting hyperthyroid. We won't know until Monday or Tuesday. He got sub-q fluids and was prescribed an appetite stimulent. I think he keep it in his mouth, because he started the I-ate-something-nasty drool. I didn't see the pill anywhere, so maybe he did ingest some of it. In any case, the fluids and the pill didn't work and I began assist feeding him this evening. I only got 9 ml in him before he said no more. I'll try some more in another couple of hours. I gave him a mixture of Wellness Chicken and Herring and Nutri-cal.
I do have to say I just have a very bad feeling about this, so any good thoughts and prayers you all can send our way would be much appreciated. I am a firm believer in the power of prayer.
