What Vet web sigt do you depend on?

Well I talked to my hubby and he says give the vet some more time. He did get the shot and we are monitering his food. I won't let him go long without eating. I just wonder how much is staying down and what nourishment he is getting from it.

The vet said to come back in three weeks but it will be sooner if he doesn't perk up.

You're going to wait 3 weeks?

Seriously, I wouldn't wait even 2 more days. Get him to another vet, no matter what hubby says. How would he like to be in that poor cat's "shoes"?!

Like I said, liver failure is quick.

A steroid shot may cause excessive thirst. However I mostly agree with the above comments if the cat's health doesn't improve, either find a different vet for a second opinon, let this vet have a chance at doing some of the lab work or x-rays to find out what is causing the problem. Also as said above, tuna is ok for short term, but not long term feeding.

Hope things improve for your kitty.

I would also be in to another vet like a shot. Why on earth would you wait 3 weeks, when this has been going on so long already? As someone already said, time is usually NOT on your side.

Prayers for Simon. And some chin rubs; please deliver.
