Fat Jack and the Vet

 Just got back from the Vet.

She says she is worried about him as she thinks he might have trouble with his liver.
She had trouble listening to his bowel sounds as he wouldn't stop purring!
He is such a nice cat and so friendly. He was rubbing against her and headbutting her.
I'm sure all of her patients aren't as friendly as that.

We are all hoping that it is just a case of gastroenteritis. She gave him an injection and told me to starve him for 24 hours, then give him small frequent meals of boiled chicken and rice. If that doesn't work, he has to go back and she will admit him to the Lord Whiskey Clinic for X-Rays and further tests.

She gave me a syringe so that if he stops eating and drinking I can liquidise his food and squirt it in his mouth until I can get him to Lord Whiskey.

I love Fat Father Jack dearly - he is my beloved little Podge and even though I know he is getting old - he is about 14 - I don't want anything to happen to him! I'm hoping like mad that it is just a simple case of gastro. She asked if he was a hunter, and he is, so maybe he ate something that wasn't good for him. He isn't acting or looking sick, it is just projectile vomiting after every meal. Then he looks for more food. He is drinking OK and looking at the litterbox, his output is normal and OK.

Please get well soon, Jack.
