Vet was happy with him and said he's had a good day He's been on the IV drip again and had more vetergesic & zantac and vet said he's actually been very comfortable, he doesn't seem to react at all when he feels his abdomen quite deeply. He's eaten at the vets today and kept it all down. He hasn't been sick in two days now but the other end is very much a problem. Without TMI, he is very leaky and has little control over it!! He has Pro Kolin, Royal Canin hydro sachets for his water and omeprazole capsules so we'll see how he goes. Tiny bits of food little & often and plenty of water. He's a bit unsteady on his legs which a bit concerning but vet said not to worry, it'll be the meds and because he is getting so little nutrition at the moment. We just really need to hope the food stays in as he desperately needs weight on... he had nothing to spare before hand and has lost 0.8kg now, which is a lot considering he only weight 6.4kg in the first place!! He wants to eat and would eat much more than I'm giving him right now, so hopefully once he's stable it'll go back on. Vet doesn't think he needs the drip tomorrow and has taken him off the tramadol, so will see how he goes tomorrow Postponed his appointment at the AHT as I think the last thing he needs right now is a sedation and an injection into his eye!! Thanks so much for all the support

Glad that he's getting better and he's eating again and keeping food down, that's always a good sign

Really glad to hear Alfie is improving barley, fingers crossed that he continues in the right direction after the changes in meds & more food. I like the vets "thinning woods!

Another good day Dare I say we're over the worst of it now?? AHT rang to reschedule his eye injection though and they really want to do it tomorrow, said longer leave it the less chance of it being successful and we obviously don't want to come all this way with his eyes and then risk them again So I really hope that doesn't set him back! Just sedation apparently, not a GA so hopefully he'll be ok!

Glad you had another good day. Hope the eye injection works out ok. I would also be concerned over the sedation so think that is natural reaction to the current situation. Let us know how it all goes. Sending you hugs and good luck vibes
