I don't have much to say,for a change! I didn't get a lot of sleep last night as one of my cats has been sick(vomiting and listless) and so far the treatment the vet gave him hasn't cured the problem. The original diagnosis was bladder blockage/infection,they sedated him and drained his bladder with a catheter,then gave him an antibiotic shot. He seemed to perk up somewhat from the treatment,but was still not having a great deal of success keeping food down. I was searching most of the morning online to see if there was something else to be done for what I suspect might be a factor. The information I gathered told me a change in diet was the key (if the problem is pancreatitis) but the vet said the food they have for that is so bland that the patients turn up their noses at it. Cats unlike dogs when it comes to pancreatitis need to keep eating or the liver is at risk,with dogs you withhold food for a few days while the pancreas calms down and they are back to normal. I was sent home with a vial and several syringes to administer shots 3 times a day for nausea. I gave him his first one and am hoping he will be able to eat and keep it down,if not it will be back to the drawing board. If you could all keep my dear Lamar in your thoughts I would appreciate any and all good thoughts. I hope I at least managed to make sense today,I am not the best judge of that at this time.
