The vet is open tomorrow for non emergencies until 4pm. We are doing assist eating today (not waiting for him to eat) because of the success the vet had while we were there. If that does not work we will be calling the other vetOk.... I will be blunt here -
Sorry about that.... but today is day 4 of an obese cat that has gone without food. On the top of it, he has pancreatitis.
This is very serious - like deadly serious. There is no waiting for tomorrow for him to eat - he can die from this. If he gets Hepatic Lipidosis on the top of pancreatitis you are looking into a devastating situation - do not put yourself there.
Everyday you wait, this get way worst.
Sorry I am being this blunt - but it is this serious.
it is already afternoon, and this cat hasn't eaten yet. Tomorrow is the weekend... You are risking putting yourself into an emergency situation, and if you are thinking about money, I would highly recommend you going back to the vet today and getting this feeding tube in.
He is not eating now, he is not going to eat today..... and the more he doesn't eat, the worst it gets - it is a vicious cycle you do not want to play with it.
Is your vet open Saturdays for non-emergencies? Do you have a plan in place if he doesn't eat until the end of the day?
Again, sorry for saying these things..... but....
