We'll be leaving in about an hour to take Osiris to the vet.
I noticed yesterday that he was vomiting and there wasn't much in it. Then last night, I noticed he also has extreme diarrhea. This morning he is very lethargic and won't eat, not even treats. This is NOT like my Ossie. He LOVES treats. I made the call to the vet and luckily they were able to squeeze us in. I am so incredibly worried guys.
Please send those vibes.

Well, he's a sick little guy.
He has a fever of 104.2. The vet said he wasn't obstucted or anything, but obviously has some kind of infection. He gave him 1) An antibiotic injection. 2) Sub fluids 3) Antibiotic pills to start tomorrow. 4) Appitite stimulant pills and 5) Medi-cal recovery wet food to try. Now it's a waiting game to see if this helps. We have no idea what could be causing this, and all of the other kitties are fine. My poor little man... Now I have to get some food into him, because the vet warned that if he doesn't eat he may end up with fatty liver syndrome. Keep those vibes coming guys!

Thanks guys.
He's doing some shivering/shaking, which I am assuming is due to the fever. He's very slow moving, and really just wants to rest. He's had his first appetite stimulant pill, but has no interest in food at all, including the wet food from the vet. Ossie always inhales wet food.
The vet did warn that he might not eat until he gets a couple of those pills into his system, so I'm keeping a close eye on him, letting him rest and we'll try again later.

My heart is breaking guys...
I hate seeing ANY of my babies sick, and I just wish I could take the suffering away from him. Dana thinks I'm over reacting, and that he'll be fine in no time, but I can't help but to worry.

Oh.....
Of course you're worried! Sending more vibes for Ossie that everything works and he starts eating and starts getting better.

It's horrible when our babies are sick. They can't tell us where it hurts. So glad you got him to the vet right away....you're a good meowmy.

Poor Ossie!! I sure hope he feels better SOON! He may not be interested in food if he got sub-qs. Try warming his food up and also try baby food. Hannah likes turkey & gravy baby food when she's sick.

Poor boy, I am sending mega mega . It's so hard when we aren't sure what is going on with our furkids.

He is in my prayers. And so are you!

I'd be very worried and upset, too.

I'm sending lots of your way, hoping Ossie is feeling much better tomorrow.
