Wyatt had a temporary (hopefully) setback. Poor guy got really sick on Friday.....lethargic, not eating, drinking very little and diarrhea. Our vet added prednisone (to hopefully stimulate his appetite) and metronidazole (to help with the diarrhea) and instructed us to continue the Albon (for the coccidia) until the diarrhea clears up. We have been seeing some pretty stubborn coccidia lately. Saturday, he vomited a couple of times, and we were very concerned about that. However, today, he seemed to be feeling a little better and even ate some breakfast. He and Doc had some visitors today who have been following their journey and are anxiously waiting for Wyatt to get healthy so they can adopt him. Since he has been sick, he wasn't very playful, but just getting out, meeting some strangers, and being loved on seemed to be good for the both of them. Unfortunately, it seems the only thing Wyatt will eat right now is Hill's Prescription Diet a/d Urgent Care. It is prescription only, and if you have ever had to buy a prescription dog or cat food, you know how expensive it can be. This food is $85 for 24 (5.5 oz) cans. Once again, if anyone can help towards their care, it would be greatly appreciated. We still have some fairly extensive blood work to do on both of them that is going to be pretty costly.
