Good and not so good news.

Not so good news: He's still not eating or drinking on his own, so I've started force feeding him the plain chicken baby food. He mostly fights it, but there are moments where he stops fighting and almost seems to just enjoy eating. The baby food is quite moist, so I'm assuming he's getting some water from that, but I've also started forcing water into him. He fights that more than he fights the food, so I'm not sure he's getting enough water yet, but a little is better than nothing.

Good news: He is so much perkier! This morning he came out on his own when it was time for morning nummies. He begged and assumed his normal position, but then wouldn't eat when I gave him the food. He then jumped up on the blanket in the living room and hung out there all morning. This afternoon we had some errands to run and when we got home, I brought him outside. He wasn't too interested in walking, but he was content to sit on my lap and watch the world go by. About an hour after bringing him in, he got up from the bed, went to the front door and started begging to go out again. We are so thrilled to see him acting more normal. He is still wobbly and stumbles everytime he shakes his head, but at least he's up and moving around a bit.

We are getting the meds in him no problem, so I'm sure they are starting to work and he's feeling better. Now....if he would just eat and drink!

The little stinker. Well, at least you were able to get a little something into him. If he keeps feeling better, I'll bet he'll give in and start eating on his own. Fingers crossed that it'll be soon.

I'm so glad to hear that he's becoming more active and that you're able to get his meds into him without any problems. Hopefully he'll start eating on his own within the next few days. Please continue to keep us updated about him. He'll remain in my thoughts and prayers.

That's a good sign isn't it, that he is starting to do his normal things.
CJ, sweetie, I pray that you start to feel much better that you will start to eat and drink more. Come on sweetie, we are all pulling for you and Praying that you have a full and speedy recovery.

Please give that sweet boy a gentle hug and kiss for me and {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} for the worried meowmie and pawpie.
