Friday morning, it was business as usual: Emerson woke me up way too early, I got up and fed everyone. Everyone ate, all was good. That evening, I fed everyone right around 6:30pm, like usual. Everyone was circling and meowing and stretching for the counter! Dexter an Evie both scarfed theirs down, and Emerson...walked away. He wouldn't even lick the food. I figured the can was bad and gave him a completely different can, no luck. We would up giving him some dry food just to have something on his stomach. That night, he wouldn't eat his midnight snack of hard food, just dome Temptations treats. He didn't wake me up this morning and only ate a stick of Tiki Cat mousse, no actual cat food. He seems to be licking his lips more like he's nauseated, but has not thrown up and has not had diarrhea.
How long do I wait him out? Other than the not eating, he has been acting fine, chasing Dexter and Evie, not hiding, jumping on the cat tree, watching the birds. He slept next to me last night. He purrs and wants to be held.
Dexter had a routine vet appointment on Thursday. The vet put some topical dewormer on his neck. Could Emerson have groomed him and gotten some of it in his system, making him nauseous? My biggest worry at this point is dehydration. Could I give him some cat milk for calories and moisture? If he's still like this on Monday, he's going to the vet. I'm also going to go grab some Fancy Feast and some Friskies to see if he will eat that.
