He was doing pretty well for the bulk of yesterday, but then petered out for dinner and, then again, at breakfast this morning.
Because two big meals went south on him, I put in a call to Dr. L. this morning first thing. He told me to take Ra off the liver supplement and give him his Mirtazepine (the appetite stimulant) early--this evening vs. tomorrow morning. He also said to feed him whatever it is he'll manage to eat--be it people or kitteh food. Additionally, if things continued to go south for Ra appetite wise, I am to call and leave him a voice mail and he will respond as soon as he checks it after hours.
As for the rest of the day, Ra's not eaten but a small amount of any kibble we give him, and that's about all he'll eat. I gave him his Mirtazepine probably a little earlier than Dr. L. intended at around 1830; it has yet to kick in and do its thing. We picked up some fresh chicken breast to bake for Ra, which just came out of the oven, in fact...Hoping he'll want to eat that up big time.
We'll have to check Ra for signs of jaundice later on, I'm afraid. He's simply not eating enough and I'm, personally, desperately afraid of fatty liver disease setting in. I lost my Smudge to that back in '06--it was a horrible way to go. :(
Things continue to go poorly for our boy. We're both so desperately afraid we're going to lose him. It's just one thing after another, dammit! I just hope it's not too much for him to take...
