We were at the vet clinic for an entire week straight before the surgery was done; she's doing so much better now but refuses to eat much of her solid food unless there is some soft on top. Good luck and let us know how he is feeling!
Actually I think all they fed him at the clinic was wet food. I'm not sure why they didn't try to give him dry. I told them that he eats dry at home. They didn't give him ANYTHING for like 24 hours and then told me "he didn't vomit ANY yesterday" and I was like "IT'S BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T GIVE HIM ANYTHING TO EAT OR DRINK!" (duh) I felt like smacking her at that point, but I think I got it across to her.

When they did just the x-rays on Callie, did they give her anything to go through her system, to monitor whether there was any blockage? I'm just wondering how well that works. My vet called them BIPS . . . stands for barium something . . . not sure exactly. I saw them on the x-rays, traveling through his little body . . . she was fairly certain there was no blockage according to those, since they passed.

Which brought her back to the food theory. She did say to give the food 6 weeks to work, so maybe that's how long it will take to really help.

Kim: I know you say not to worry about my little puker but it was hard NOT to last week. He was a sick little kitty. For him to be puking up EVERYTHING, there was definitely something wrong.
