Some thoughts for Tanner please...

Okay, one of my little guys has been having problems with chronic diarrhea for about the last 6 weeks. We have gone through 20 days of metronidazole (which was not fun

). But in the last couple of days he has been having a different problem (in addition to the diarrhea). He has not been able to eat much of anything because he has been gagging so badly. Yesterday he had a gastroscopy, to check for IBD and to make sure there was nothing stuck in his throat. Well that all turned out okay (but he did NOT like going under). Unfortunately things have gotten worse and his jaw is now making a noise, similar to a human cracking their joints. I have made another appointment for him tomorrow to have an x-ray, but this means that he will be going under again.

I am really worried because he hasn't been able to eat for 3 days now and he had already lost weight from the diarrhea. Please keep us in your thoughts tomorrow...

Oh my.... poor little Tanner... and YOU! I am sending lots of prayers your way from Indiana. Hope they find the problem soon and Tanner is soon on the way to complete recovery.

Oh poor Tanner and poor you. I can only imagine how worried you must be.

Prayers and positive thoughts on the way that they are able to find out what is going on with your Tanner and that they will be able to get him back to good health.

The Pet Angel Vet Visitors are going to see Tanner, to keep him company
as they know how depressing being in a cage, all by yourself with strange Pets around, can be.
We are praying hard for your Tanner.

Many prayers for Tanner. I hope that the cause of his problems are soon found.

Thank you everyone. I am worried about him and running out of ideas of how to figure out what the problem is. I hope that this will help us (although it will mean that we get another "bad kitty" sticker

)

You know I will never understand how a cat thinks. He FINALLY started to last night at midnight (I was still up and fed him some wet food). After 3 days of not eating anything and looking like he was struggling, he put me out of my torment and ate something

I decided to hold off on the x-ray until next week. He has already been sedated once this week and I didn't want to put him under again unless necessary. But thank you for your thoughts...
