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!

My prays for Mr. Meow to be healthy soon and start eatting!!

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.
