Poor Corkscrew. I hope that it's just gas and nothing serious. Please eat well and gain your weight back Corky.

Corkscrew is finally getting better I've been worried about him for the last few days because he didn't seem to be improving much. However yesterday his finally started to look better, he was eating all of his meals as opposed to just taking a few bites and he finally had some energy! Yesterday I took him off the baby food and started feeding canned food. He hasn't vommited once!

He'd spent the last week just sleeping at the base of the cat tree so it was nice to actually see him walking around and begging for attention. His eye still looks a little gross and I know it's going to be a little while before he is back at 100% but I'm very excited for his improvement and it's good to finally see him starting to act like his normal self.

I'm glad to hear he's finally improving!! Must have been such a worrisome time for you! What does the vet think he had?

He had pancreatis, however the stress from being sick caused him to get an infection in his eye.

Get well Corkscrew.

I hope the vet has discussed a feeding tube for Corkscrew. Often with the 'fatty liver disease' (hepatic lipidosis) the cat feels sick, doesn't eat, liver gets inflamed, makes cat feel worse, cat doesn't feel like eating - - the one thing that the cat does need is to eat. If a feeding tube is an option for you, I would recommend you go with this treatment. Feeding the cat is relativly easy. It will get enough food into the cat that he needs. The tube feedings may go on for a month or so. The longer a cat goes without adequate food intake, the worse the disease becomes. Best of luck for you and Corkscrew.
