First, I would like to thank everyone for the good thoughts. I really do appreciate everything.
He is doing ok. The pain meds are done, so he is breathing a bit heavier - I think I've called the vet's office every day to ask questions.
I've nursed many a sick puppy, kitten, cat, dog - but this time I'm a nervous wreck....
He is eating a bit. I think I've bought every flavor, style, type of canned cat food! He won't eat nutrcal or baby food - that's what he had when he was really sick, before, and he just refuses to even smell it!
He loves lunch meat (turkey, roast beef, chipped ham) so I tear it to itty bitty pieces for him. Even the ground canned cat food has to be really mashed for him. He's also getting a bit of evaoporated milk. He eats one or two small (fancy feast size) all day. Sometimes a bit more, sometimes a bit less.
He is doing a bit of open mouthed breathing when he walks too much (every time we go in the bathroom, he has to get up & rub on us!). He spends most of the time on a heating pad, relaxing. tHE vet thinks it is all pain related - he's still nice & pink, not pale or blue. His pain meds are done as of yesterday morning.
Sorry for the rambling - it's been one of those weeks.....
Thanks again
