MANY prayers for Thomas....

Thank you ALL for the prayers! Thomas ate a little last night, but it was me holding the food in front of his face until he ate. Fortunately, he kept it down. He seems to be walking a bit better, and is more active. But, he still is not eating much, even though the prednisone is supposed to be a sort of appetite stimulant.

This morning he threw up his prednisone and vitamins, so we had to give them to him again.

I don't want to do syringe feeding, because he has been through so much already, and he's already getting things jammed down his throat 2-3 times per day, depending on the day. But, I may have to start, if he's not willing to do it on his own. This morning I tried feeding him again with the food in his face, and he kept licking his lips and smelling the food, but wouldn't eat it.

Patience, patience, patience.

Silly thought - but coule there be a sore in his mouth or something with his teeth that makes eating really uncomfortable for him?

If this has been mentioned already, I apologize - I didn't read back in the thread.

Sometimes when a furbaby or even a human is seriously ill, the simpler things go by the wayside.

Just a thought.

Hugs and prayers for Thomas.
