Well, he puked up all the food I squirted into him. He just can't
keep anything down. I called the vet and she said that it sounds
unrelated to the antibiotics and to bring him in. So I did. She
said his wound is healed fine and not a worry anymore. She
palpitated his stomach and said she could feel some kind of mass in
there! Eeeek! It's either something in his stomach or something on
his kidney. She said she doubts it's a kidney tumour but still!
They are keeping him for xrays. I'm so upset. I wonder what it could
be? I sure hope it's something that's easily fixed.
I have to drive to the next town (30 min away) to pick up Dennis.
They have my cell phone number and will call me as soon as they know
anything. I guess once I've got Dennis, we'll drop by and see what's
going on.
Purrs for my poor baby would be greatly appreciated!

Whatever was in those first antibiotics I gave Vino, they seem to
have made him really ill. I got new antibiotics and got one dose
into him and he hasn't improved. In fact, he's totally off his food
now, won't eat a thing. Not ham, not kitty treats, not ground beef,
nothing. He dry heaves about 3 times a day and spits up clear
stomach fluid. It's getting worse and worse.
I've now got him in the bathroom and I'm going in every hour or so
and squirting a liquefied blend of canned food and water into his
mouth with a syringe. I really think he needs to get some
nourishment into him. Meanwhile, I've just given up on the
antibiotics. At this point it seems more necessary for him to eat
something and feel better. Besides, the scab fell off his injury, it
looks well healed. I doubt there's an abscess trapped underneath,
it's on a bony part, right along his spine and there's no swelling,
no redness, nothing. And it doesn't hurt him if I press on it
either.
Poor Vino. I'm sure he could use some purrs for his tummy to
improve.
Ramping up the purrs!
