    Ruffles is 16 and had a tough time in June. We never did find the source of the problem. As long as she is eating canned food and no kibble (and on 3 medications) she is doing great. So if the hamburg and rice with yogurt was a "no go," but the baby food is working, the food consistency may be part of the issue. Just something to keep in mind.
    Best wishes, for Corkscrew!
    He's only 6 years old. I know that he will eat canned food if offered because I fed him that the day before the vet. The problem was that it upset his stomach and he threw it up. Hopefully after a few days of the baby food diet his tummy will have calmed down enough that we can try canned food again.

    Glad to hear that it is no virus infection, but pancreatitis sounds not to well. Hope - that when this turns out to be true - it's only a mild one which can be treated with a diet.

    Good that he's eating his baby food, and that he didn't throw it up.

    Get well soon, Corkscrew!

    Looks like we're going back to the vet tomorrow morning. He seemed to be doing better then all of a sudden this evening one of his eyes wasn't looking well. I don't know if it's realted to his illness or if this is something totally different, but now his eye is really swollen and watery and doesn't look good at all.

    Poor Corkscrew. I sure hope that the vet will be able to find out what's wrong with him and that he starts feeling better soon. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

    Here is a picture of his eye, I don't get off work tomorrow until 12:15 but if it looks worse when I wake up in the morning then I might have Alexa take him in while I'm at work.

    I just fed him another small meal (a teaspoon of canned food) and he ate it and it's been over an hour and he has not vommited I forgot to mention that he had lost a little bit more weight, 4 oz. so I'm happy to see him eating. I know that part of it is that he feels better since he was given eye drops to numb up the area, so hopefully tomorrow when the effect has worn off he will still continue to eat.

    I also bought a powerball ticket, so keep your fingers crossed that I win so I can pay off his vet bills!
