Please eat, sweet boy. JenL, did he have any health problems when he came to you? (thyroid or diabetes or anything that might give him less of an appetite)

Not constipated. He just left a perfectly normal poop.
I have been force feeding him with a mixture that INCLUDES the nutrical.
He was a stray at a shelter. All I know is that he was not eating, but then he started eating, but then he moved to me and stopped eating again.
The appointment is in 45 minutes. Hopefully the blood work will show something FAST!

Poor baby. I wonder how long it took him to start eating at the shelter?
Jen, you know when he starts eating again, well, he'll just have to stay with you!
Also - there was a food Pyka was on, it's for recovering cats. Hill's AD. Ask the vet about that, and maybe try a can on him. Whatever you can get into him, it is packed with lots of nutrition.
HUGS!

He might be depressed due to the change in location from shelter to your house. Once he got use to the shelter he started eating. However, came to your house and stopped. There's a pattern here, I would believe.
I'm guessing in a short time he will calm down and adjust and start eating again.

First off, the shelter told us he began eating, but I am seriously doubting it. I don't think they meant to be deceptive, but this cat lost 4 pounds in a month's time!
The vet drew blood and did xrays.
She palpated his abdomen. He is tender and she feels a thickening. This thickening is NOT poops, as shown by the xray.
The blood test results come in tomorrow, but she reminded me that an organ must be 75% bad before the enzyme levels are elevated. So, it may or may not show what is really wrong.
The next step may be an ultrasound. but I fear that this will only tell us what I already know.........he's going to die.
I'll be continuing to force him to eat. but he lost 5 ounces just since Friday.
