I talked to the vet this afternoon and he said to go ahead and try the Tagamet or Pepcid; we're just gradually working through the possible meds he can take to resolve his nausea & not eating; his concern is the way Baby has reacted to his other meds, he'll probably have the same problem, but it's definitely worth a try. And yes he is in beginning stages of kidney failure - showed up in blood work when he was "diagnosed" with IBD / lymphosarcoma but was told it was very minor compared to the other problems Baby was having at the time. Both have very similar symptoms but can't do the biopsy for the sarcoma because very invasive and too stressful for a 15 year old kitty.

Thank you for the support and I'll grab some Tagamet and Pepcid this weekend and see how he does with those (1/4 pill twice a day - just what Baby wants is to take more pills). Now we're going to take a nap to catch up on the much needed sleep we missed last night.
