Thanks everyone & Elyse for letting me know about this thread....

Earle is still at the vet. He is doing better, standing, looks "chipper" according to the on-call doc, but he won't eat. Hasnt eaten for six days. He is drinking on his own now, but still on an IV for more fluids and meds. This morning, the vet said he didn't spit out the food that had a pill hidden in it, but the food had to be actually placed in his mouth. Vet might let Earle come home tonight, although he'll have to go back if he still won't eat even at home.
