Barium? Whew! That is aggresive!

How strange that he would just up and stop eating like that. And the NutriCal paste is just going right through him from what you describe. Hmmm...

He couldn't have gotten into anything, could he? Can't be a blockage either since he's still pooping.

Is he neutered? Any history of urinary tract infections? Maybe bladder stones? Poor guy!

Shouldn't have bladder stones.... he's been getting the special care food forever...... and he is peeing normally (when he was drinking water) We forced water into him with a syringe too.

Don't know what it is.... His blood work and x-ray looked good. In fact, his blood work showed very good general health, especially for his age.

I don't know what they expect to find with Barium, and I can't imagine this cat can survive much of an illness or surgery.... We don't know how old he is but I have had him 15 years.
