    Pancreatitis seems to be under control and off and on Jester has been ravenous.

    Hoping that's a good sign and that his weight is up even by a few solid ounces when the vet looks him over.

    Send positive thoughts out for us for a good outcome.

    But I won't stop being worried until he's back in the double-digits weight-wise.

    Thanks everyone.
    The good - he hasn't lost more weight, he's been eating, and overall things are going well.
    The not great - he hasn't gained so much as an ounce despite eating at least two 5.5 ounce cans of Friskies every day - and sometimes more -for over a week.

    The vet wants me to stop stressing about it. But I can feel every single rib and every single bone in his spine. I just want him to gain something back.

    It's next to impossible to get him to eat alternative foods that are higher calorie without going even high on the carbs. He's just too picky.
    And I can't leave food out for him when I'm gone because I have two other cats who will eat it out from under him if I'm not around to shoo them away. (Also, no way to separate them with my current housing situation.)
