They don't know what is the matter with the kitty, but he has been to the vet three times in as many days. He won't eat, went almost six days. Big cats who don't eat will begin to digest their own liver and kidneys if they don't eat, so he is getting this high-protein paste with a syringe. Everything that comes out of either end of him is a yucky black color.

He's had blood tests and x-rays, they can't see anything. Monday he gets Barium I think to try to figure it out. Poor old cat is in his upper teens. I think Barium is harsh treatment indeed on the poor old guy!

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!

Hair; thanks, those are great pics from the Rally and the flags were a super idea.

Really sorry to hear about Kitty. Hoping all goes well.
