Ah-HA! That's what I was doing wrong. I just sort of aimed it at his open mouth and squirted it it - resulting in him spittin most of what little I actually got in, out.

He's been real good about drinkin' though, so I haven't attempted this again. It did sound like I was drowning him though, which did get me a little worried, but now I know the procedure so I can try it again if necessary - hopefully not.

Hey Boots, Tubby says thanks for the advice to keep drinkin' and peein. He doesn't mind the actual trip to the white coats, it's just all the pills and stuff that come afterwords that he hates so much. He's been drinkin' and peein' much better and things seem to be working much more like normal - but not quite normal yet. We spots are bigger and fewer, but not as big as before, and more than there were before and he has completely stopped making like he's going to clean himself and then sorta lick his belly or his leg like he was doing before.

He was much more normal yesterday, and much more active. I went on a crazy cleaning spree and he was helping the whole time - 'cept when I got too close with that rug sucker thing. Then in the evening he actually started playing with this orange peeler thing I have. It's sorta like a pen - plastic and maybe about 4 inches long. It was laying on the couch after I got done with my orange, and he started batting at it and biting it - which he likes to do to pens. Then he got that goofy look in his eye and did some serious batting at it, until it ended up on the floor. Why are things no fun anymore when they end up on the floor?

I'm just a little concerned yet because the water plumbin' is workin' fine, but the solid waste disposal has stopped production. He is eating his hard food, and I gave him some canned food just to make sure he was eating, but Sat, Sun and this morning there were no toosie rolls in the litter boxes (Peanut goes on the floor so I know which ones are her and which is his). I'm not that concerned yet because I don't think he's been eating as much as he usually does - more liquids than anything, but if there is nothing in there when I get home tonight, and nothing tomorrow morning, I will be making another phone call to the vet at the very least. He's acting like his old self again which is why I'm not that worried....yet.

Tubby says thanks again to everyone for all their concern. After his morning medicine and Cat Sip treat, he headed up for a nice long nap after such a busy day yesterday. The only problem now is he's beginning to expect the Cat Sip and the canned cat food. And I'm just glad he's doing ok so I haven't been able to deny it yet, but he's still a sickie. Maybe once his medicine is gone and I know he's completely recovered, maybe then I'll be able to say no - no turkey giblets for you today big boy.
