At this point in time, I'm going to ask for prayers for Sam. Prayers that he starts feeling better. Prayers that I can get a vet to cooperate.

Praying for Sam. May he have healing and a vet that will co-operate with his meowmie.
Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

I met with the vet I like today. I was even late because Sam decided to hide where I couldn't get him. He got poked with a broomstick until I annoyed him enough to move. This is the bottom corner of the cabinets where the thin man couldn't get in.
I like this lady and I now know which days she works.
I met with the vet at 5pm today. Right now he is getting an antibiotic for the infection in the mouth and ear (he has issues with wax in his ears. always has) and some extra steroids to help with inflammation. Convenia and a Steroid. (I was refused this on Tuesday) I got an extra bag of fluids and I may get some pedialyte (suggested by a stomatitis group). He has extractions scheduled for 1 week from today. I need to hydrate him daily. I am hoping to get him hydrated and eating so he can have the surgery and feel much better.
He was also given an appetite stimulant, and it must work fast. He ate a little bit when he got home.
Horner's Syndrome was discussed. Sometimes it's idiopathic, but usually there is an underlying cause: infection, concussion, stroke, tumor, neuro.
If all of this doesn't work, we will look at other causes of uneven dilation.

Yay! You got the good vet! Good to hear that Sam is eating a bit. Prayers that the Convenia kicks in quickly and that Sam feels much more comfortable.

Thank you for your prayers
From Friday the 14th:
You should know that Sam is much better today. He licked at some food last night and this morning. He also got a spoon of babyfood last night and another this morning. But surprise he wanted more cat food after that, AND I caught him finishing up somecat else's bowl a little later.
He has absorbed the fluids from yesterday, so he will get another dose tonight.
He was given more Sub-Q fluids tonight. The needle popped out at 100 ml so we let it go. Sam decided to hide in Happy Place number 2, an upside-down chips box from Aldi; it works like a cat cave and has some old clothes in it.
Yes, they are spoiled.
Today, Saturday the 15th:
And Sam just went after his favorite dry food a few minutes ago. Natural Balance original flavor. I'm going to pick up a can of it and see if he will eat it.
And his right cheek is very swollen just now. That side of the face has shown some swelling. The is the same side as the eye with the nictitating membrane showing and the pupil will small dilation.
Poor baby. But he is still eating. I chopped his dry food in my veggie chopper, and let him have a few bites. The rest is soaking now. I hid the bag. He just ate a half-can of DVP NB Venison.
Sam's right jaw and cheek are very swollen. he is uncomfortable and is refusing to eat. His face is so swollen he eyes are narrowing and the nose is almost recessed.
I'm going to try to burrito him and get some clindamycin in him.
I made some chicken tenders earlier. I put some water in the pan and made a juice for him. He lapped up every bit of it.
I haven't yet summoned the courage to purrito him so I ca get some meds down his throat. I will give him some more liquids tonight. I may put up all the foods and see how he is in the morning.
