    Monroe is sick

    I noticed Monroe's appetite decreasing over the past few days. Today, he stopped eating and he was hiding under the bed.
    I took him to work for bloodwork and x-rays. He had lost half a pound in 3 weeks. Bloodwork is normal, the vet thought she saw something on the x-rays, so I took him for an ultrasound. They saw a potentially inflamed pancreas, but they are also concerned about his heart due to an ultrasound a few years ago that showed some thickening in parts of the heart. At that time, they said he didn't need meds.
    Toby (who was COTD on 8-20) acted exactly like that before he passed away from cardiomyopathy.
    I'm very scared, he just vomited his nausea medication.
    I leave him be for now. My vet said to bring him in tomorrow if he's still not eating.
    Please send some healing thoughts for Monroe.

    Thank you so much everybody. All of your positive thoughts are reaching Monroe.
    He must have absorbed some of the medication, he ate a few bites. I keep my fingers crossed that when the medicine wears off, he will still eat.
    Thank you again.
