Started him tonight on an appetite stimulant and some pain meds thanks to my special vet- Dr. Vicki Thayer a Feline Specialist. She feels he has a really bad URI that is complicated by ulcers not in his mouth, but perhaps in his esophagus or tummy.

About five minutes after I gave him the appetite stimulant, he attacked the plate of canned cat food as if he had never seen food before. I was so glad to see him eat! He didn’t eat a lot, but he did eat and this is the first time in three days that he has eaten anything. I made him a slurrie and I will just let him alone until tomorrow and see what is going on.

Yesterday, I feared he was dying. Tonight, I am hoping that he has once again pulled another life out of his hat and will be around for a long time to come. But, time will tell and I don’t want to jinx this moment by any means.
