Now that I am back from my week of decompression at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cass404's place, an update on Tzepesh:
He's still not well. He's lost weight, is lethargic, and is not very interested in food. He will eat, occasionally, and the Stroppy One has been trying out all sorts of different foods on him to see what will motivate him to eat.
The vet says that it is probably a GI infection. Tzepesh is now on twice-a-day antibiotics, with a chaser of two syringes of water squirted down his throat. (THANK YOU toladymoira for helping out with that while I was still in PDX.)
Tzepesh, being possibly the most mellow cat in existence, while not happy with getting pills and water put down his throat, puts up with it, and hasn't gone into a massive sulk about it. But he's weak and tired, poor baby. I think the antibiotics are helping, but the Stroppy One and I would love to see a Sudden! Miraculous! Recovery! and have Tzepesh go back to his usual eat ALL THE FOOD ways.
So, whatever good thoughts or prayers you could spare for my big baby cat would be most appreciated.

If you can get the syringe in the cheek pocket and squirt it seems to go down a bit easier.

And they ran tons of tests (the first times, anyway) and nothing was obvious, it was just pretty much "let's throw everything at it and cross our fingers."
Cats that won't eat pretty much put me in full panic. Cats don't DO THAT.
Much hope this clears up fast.

In seriousness, good thoughts, good wishes, and hopes to see the sweet monster all better soon.

You can try canned chicken or tuna.. Anything stinky should get his attention. You can also put cooked rice mixed into it or canned pumpkin if he is having upset tummy.

Have you tried tempting him with poached chicken with the broth?

Back when I was in high-school, we had a kitty hit by a car. The vet put him back together, but warned he might not want to eat.
I ended up putting baby food (meat) on my finger and letting him lick it off. I have literally hand fed a cat. This worked, our beloved kitty recovered and went on to live many more happy years.
See if your baby will lick food from your fingers.
