State of the Cat

Pumpkin is home. He has nibbled some food, managed to get to the litterbox, but when he was done he just lied down in there. I extracted him.

They sent me home with insulin, he gets 2 shots a day, and an IV bag and a contraption for giving him 100ml of liquid subcutaneously every so often. He has an appointment for Tuesday.

I need to feed him by syringe if he doesn't eat on his own.

After an initial moment of curiosity, Domino has left him alone.

He started out lying in front of the food/water, with his head up. Then he ducked into the closet to lay down where it was dark. He has done this when he wasn't sick.

I am stressed.

Thanks. But I do question. A lot. Right now it's a coin toss whether I am helping him or just prolonging his suffering.

Yes, that's a tough one, but the cat is lucky to have someone as caring as you to make the decision.

Sometime I should tell you the story of Elektra, our family's wrinkle-rescue Sharpei. Now isn't really the time, mostly because I need to sleep.
