I am so not ready for my now oldest cat to become unstable with his current health issues (early crf, early diabetes, hyperthyroidism, hypertension), but Tyler is throwing up even his water at times, appetite is way down, and I can tell his one ear especially is bothering him.


I made an apt. (which I may break and take him in sooner if he doesn't level out tomorrow) for labs (he was due) and to get the ear checked out and meds prescribed, began assist-feeding him today and gave him sub-q fluids to be sure he's not dehydrating. I'm watching him carefully re the vomitting, it's been some hours now, hopefully, none overnight tonight. And maybe if I'm lucky, he'll begin eating again tomorrow. Now that would be nice.

I hope this is just him reacting to an ear infection...

I'm so sorry! Napolean and I are sending tons and tons of get well vibes for poor little Tyler. Hopefully it's just the ear issue, and once that's taken care of he'll be happy and eating!

Tyler perked up after I gave him some fluids last night, and ate some of the baby food on his own. No throwing up overnight or today so far, and just now, he was eating his wet food.

So, I am comfortable waiting for our apt, but am going to keep up with the sub-q fluids and giving him some blenderized food via syringe.

Thank you for keeping him in your thoughts.

Pat....
If anyone can pull Tyler out of this slump .... it's you.

Tyler will be in my prayers.

sending vibes for Tyler. Glad to hear he's doing a little better, and I hope that he continues to improve. Thinking of you both.

Pat & Alix, my oldest girl had a nasty ear infection about 6 months ago. Though mostly under control now, thanks to Zeniquin (a great antibiotic) it's unfortunately chronic and tends to flare up now and then. When it does, my baby is all out of sorts. If this is what Tyler's got going on with his ear it could account for him feeling so punky.

Very glad to hear Tyler's improving. Lots of "feel much better soon" and "stay strong" thoughts going out to your special boy
