Get Well Soon Sydney.. Prayers & Huggss

Aww, thank you so much, Carole and Pinot's Mom and Jenn and Helene, for all your good wishes and prayers and thoughts for Sydney to get better. He doesn't seem to be having diarrhea any more. I did find a couple of small solid poops on the floor outside his litter box in the bathroom this morning. He hasn't done any more since then, so I still don't know if he's having any trouble getting it out.

He also has quite a good appetite back now. He kept wanting more and more of the wet KD With Chicken!

I also gave him some Bench & Field Holistic Natural Feline Treats from Trader Joe's. He sure likes those! The label says they are Omega 6:30 Enriched with Menhaden Oil. I don't know if that's anything like Omega 3. I tried a few times squeezing some of the contents of Fish Oil capsules with Omega 3 onto his wet food, but he didn't seem to like the smell of it or what it did to the taste of the food.

I wasn't able to talk with Dr. Bill today. I will try him again tomorrow. If we don't connect, I'll be bringing Bob to see him on Thursday. Bob is due for some blood work to see how HE's doing (here's hoping there are no unpleasant surprises here.. yikes!...), and we can figure out where we're going with Sydney too.

Thanks again!

Love from Sydney and Pat and family

Sounds good to me... What a relief to read that the diarrhea has stopped, and that he ate with a good appetite!

Thank you, Kirsten and Helene. Sydney continues to do well! He has the run of the apartment now.. no more diarrhea. I think the ear infection is still getting better too. (I thought that might have been postponed while his body was fighting the new trouble.. It should be back to fighting that now, anyway.)

And his appetite.. WOW! He's eating like a horse! (That's an old expression, but I wonder.. do horses really eat a lot and keep wanting more?)

I finally talked with Dr. Bill today. He was glad to hear all the good news. He said to keep him on the reduced Pred dose, and in another week or so we'll consider reducing it further.

Tomorrow Bob and I will be seeing Dr. Bill, so we'll touch base there too.

Thanks again, everyone! I'm sure all of your prayers and kind thoughts and healing wishes and energies have been helping!

Love from Sydney and Pat and all
