My cat stopped eating and I could see he was in pain ..I took him to the vets the asap.where he had injections for pain and sickness. Got home that afternoon he has diarrhoea with blood I was so scared and took him back again that evening ...he had a high temperature and was dehydrated and was admitted for 3 nights on a drip ...he's home now with dried food as he's only eating very little but drinking a lot which is good ..does anyone know when he will get back to normal .the vet said its a slow progress but I'm just getting anxious ..many thanks

Did the vet run any blood work, urinalysis, scans, other tests? Did they say what was wrong with him? I see you said virus, but what kind of virus are you referring to?

Is he getting better as each day passes?  As Donutte said, not knowing his diagnosis, it's hard to say how long it might take, or how we can advise you.

We can certainly empathize with your being anxious, however.  We're all cat lovers here, and each time our furkids get sick, we tend to panic.  I do, anyway.  Especially when they don't want to eat
