    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.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    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.

    His eye was looking even worse this morning, so I left work early and we went to the vet. The vet says that it is just an infection and sent me home with lots of meds, he is on Gentamicin eye drops, Enisyl and some clavamox. He had stopped eating yesterday and she said that once his eye situation is under control he would be more likely to eat again. She gave him some eye drops to numb the area and when we got home he was more than happy to eat the baby food again! Let keep our fingers crossed that he can finally start to get better soon.

    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!

    Oh no! Come on Corkscrew, you can do it!

    Is he willing to eat the baby food at all? What about kitten formula? Even though it's not solid, it has a lot of nutrients that you could perhaps get into him.

    Thinking of you guys!

    I've tried baby food and a few different canned foods, but he's just not interested. Right now the food I've been given to force feed is science diet a/d.
