Hi And thank you both for your replies.. They are greatly appreciated..
I took Stinky to a new vet today. They looked at previous records..and then checked Stinky over. Stinky has a bad heart murmur, the vet let me listen to it myself. Course I really am not familiar with what I was hearing. He said is was mushy..? Stinky did eat some chicken when he got home, actually ate quite a bit.. but since then, has just barely nibbled when I bring him food. Didn't seem like the pill for enticing him to eat really affected him...? He is pretty whimpy...walks around slowly when he moves around, and most the time he is hidden and sleeping.. *sigh* So..it's been a long day.
The vet said if money was no matter, he would probably redo the bloodtests once again.. I told him to go ahead if he thought it was a good idea, but then he stated that he felt that treating him for the heart for now would be best...and then we could go from there...
So... what do ya'll think? I could not get the heart meds today, but they will have them ready in a.m. (Walgreens) I am not sure what they are... but will know then..
The vet said feed him ANYTHING you can get him to eat.. So.. that is what I'll do, but.. he doesn't seem to be too interested.
Thanks again,
Walkssoftly<~~~off to bed......slap wore out....
