i miss our cat
lunch is staying at the vet's this weekend getting fluids intravenously. he has no interest in eating — not even chicken, his favorite food — so it's a relief to know he's at least getting some nourishment via needle.
the most important lab numbers came back normal, so we know it's not kidney or liver failure. his thyroid level is elevated again, which is expected; we'd stopped the thyroid meds on the theory that he was having a bad reaction to them.
he may just be depressed. i am, too. i miss lunch.

latest word: he hasn't gotten any worse. the vet thinks he was more responsive this morning; he lifted his head and looked at the doctor when he entered. (that should tell you just how bad off he's been.)
thanks for the good wishes...
