Bama is eating well again after a slow start yesterday when he barely nibbled at AM+3 and AM+5 when I offered snacks. I dosed him with a gelcap of Ondansetron and Famotidine and his eating improved a couple hours later. He also got his sub-q fluids which made a huge difference. I think the combination of sub-q fluids and offering food every 3 to 4 hours [day and night, ugh] helps keep his tummy happy.

Yes, the vet gives the supplies to me and marks them up horrendously from what I could get from Thriving Pets or Chewy.

Damn! Just saw that you need a script in the US to get fluids. I guess he won't give you just a script for 100mls a day and let you buy it wherever you want?

I think it may be different from state to state. I know that Thriving Pets said they don't ship the fluid packs to Alabama. I guess my next step may be to ask for a script and buy it from other places.

Moved my post to today's condo. Not fast enough though!

SubQs really helped Bandit. No autofeeder? Or he won't eat from it?

I'm not above pleading poverty.

I don't have an auto-feeder but I have tried just leaving food out which he sometimes eats and sometimes doesn't. I think he likes for me to come visit in the middle of the night. He seems to be awake then anyway.

I'm glad Bama is eating well today. I hope he slides down and surfs safely. I hope you can get a script from the vet for the fluids and find a better price.

He took all night to get here but Bama is finally back in the green. Merry Christmas, Mama, he says.

And it looks like he might do that thing he does where he heads lower all the way till AMPS!
