i hope i didn't speak too soon.
for those of you hanging on every word i post about my cat, i have a troubling update.
the vet said yesterday that the elevated pancreatic enzyme in lunch's blood was nothing to worry about, and his other test results were encouraging. but yesterday and today lunch has been extremely lethargic, hiding in the alcove behind the washer and dryer, obviously nauseated and unhappy.
he's going back to the vet this afternoon, if we can pry him out of his inaccessible little cave. my guess is that they'll keep him there for a few days — the treatment for pancreatic problems is to rest the pancreas by keeping the cat off food and water taken orally, keeping him hydrated intravenuously or subcutaneously.
wish us luck in getting him into the box, and wish him luck in feeling better very soon.

it's too bad you can't make yourself into a cute little hot water bottle for his belly the way he used to (still does?) for yours.
