Hello,
Great idea about the babyfood and 'high scent' foods, thanks. I didn't know the importance of scent in their diet (though I should have suspected something every time I opened a can of soft food... ewww) Well as promised here is the latest status of Fred, the vet could not find anything physically wrong with him so our marching orders were to pretty much keep doing what we were and call if things change. Sigh, I could have come to that conclusion alot cheaper Anyhow, a couple days have passed and it is apparent he is feeling better. Fred has hornked a furball, sits and stares at us apparently trying mind control and makes more attempts to eat. I really believe at this point that it was the antibiotics he was on that were getting to him.

Thanks everyone for the advice and support, great forum here at 'pet of the day'

Cheers
