Thank you so much everybody. All of your positive thoughts are reaching Monroe.
He must have absorbed some of the medication, he ate a few bites. I keep my fingers crossed that when the medicine wears off, he will still eat.
Thank you again.

Monroe didn't eat this morning, so I took him to work. His vet recommend an ECG, since heart disease was one of the concerns.
The results were devastating: Monroe is in heart failure. I cried when I saw the report.
Some things are making sense now: When we played fetch, he would get tired fast, and he has been loosing weight for several months now.
Today he was put on three different medications, a fourth one will be added soon.
When he was still eating, medicating was easy. Now it's going to be a great challenge. He will not tolerate having the meds poked down his throat. He's still picking at his food, and he knows exactly if there's any medicine in it.
Another bad thing: He has bad allergies, which were always under control with prednisolone. He has to discontinue it because it can have adverse affects on his heart. And if he does have pancreatitis, too, the treatment for it would be prednisolone...
So right now we are in a really bad spot, and I have to come up with a plan how to balance everything so Monroe has a chance.
Sorry about the long post, but this was a rough day, so thank you for letting me vent.
