This is beginning to feel like the story of Randi's poor Fister.

The blood and urine work was all fine! The only remote possibility the vet could think of was the pancreas. She said that the test for pancreatitis gives inconclusive results and that we here in Canada have to send to the southern USA for it to be done.

She did suggest that Mom could stop by and get some painkillers for Shiney...except that he seems to be in no pain. I'll suggest she try that...maybe there's an inflammation in his mouth somewhere?

He still isn't really eating or drinking...but mom found an old feeding syringe she used for Pyka many years ago. She made a kitty burrito out of Shiney with a towel and gave him about 2 tsp of water. She will give him more before bed time.

I hope he is just 'off' for some reason and will bounce back soon! Weird. Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts - keep them coming.

ETA: Mom phone later tonight. She is taking Shiney in 1st thing tomorrow morning for another sub-q. She will ask the vet whether she thinks an x-ray is ok. Shiney has been prone to throwing up in the past - several times a week - but Mom found a food he could keep down. The vet palpated Shiney's abdomen and felt nothing.

Shiney threw up the small amount of tuna juice he had lapped up earlier this evening.

Mom and I are both very very worried. Has something in his body decided it is time to die?

It's so very worrisome and frustrating when there is no apparent reason.

Prayers for Shiney coming from us here in Delaware. It's so difficult when they are sick, but the problem can't be pinpointed.
{{{Hugs}}} to Shiney, your Mom, and you too, Candace.

Thanks again. I talked to my mom this morning - she is waiting for the vet to call her back. She did get up in the middle of the night and warm up some cat food for Shiney. He ate about 2 teaspoons (he is a small cat) but threw it up again. This seems a bit more sinister than just needing an appetite suppressant.

Shiney is getting a pain med injection and getting rehydrated. This is a different vet this morning...maybe she will feel something the other didn't? Although Shiney used his litter box twice after the first visit.

Hoping for news/improvement. Still praying. I kept waking up last night.

PT prayers are amazing. Thank you again for sending them and good thoughts.
