They did some blood work. He is very dehydrated. His anal glands were full He possibly could be diabetic. His liver numbers were high... He did eat a little canned food at the vet. It's not normal food but something they give cats after surgery. Forgot the name.
They also gave him 300ml IV of something called Vitavex. Guess who gets to give the IV the next two days? Me. Yikes. I used to give my cats shots when I was a kid but this will be interesting as he has to stay close by for 5-10 minutes...He did good at the vet with it ...I also have some pills called Cerenia. I believe it is for nausea.
The vet is more concerned about his eating for now so we have to go back next Friday. She said it's possible once he starts feeling better he may start to eat his old food. If not, I will have to try some canned food mixed in with the dry maybe. Not sure how I'm going handle that. I may pick up some canned food tomorrow after work.
What really sucks is money is tight right now. A crappy year for everyone I am sure. UGH!
