He is stumped therefore he is keeping Chappy for a few days to monitor and get blood and urine samples. What bothers him most is the incredible amount of muscle mass this cat has lost and the fact that he only eats when you feed him- drinks when you give him a syringe of water- which is assist feeding is not normal behavior. At least we can rule out FHL!
Said he can tell just by the look of him that he feels puny-and for now that is all I know-

Purrrrrrss to Chappy & his beans. Come on kittie, eat something.
(have you tried Chappy on chopped up hot dogs? Just a thought)
We are so sorry Chappy is having a rough time. We will purr for him, you and the vet, and hope he will figure out what is wrong so Chappy will back to his old self soon.
We are sending lots of purrs and purrayers, too.
And fanks fur keeping us posted.
Love & Purrs,

The worst seems to be not knowing what’s wrong with an animal. They can’t tell you, and when a veterinary doesn’t know, there’s a feeling of helplessness. I hope they will understand Chappy’s problem very soon.
I’m so sorry to hear Chappy isn’t well. My heart goes out to you. My cats and I send you heartfelt purrs. I hope he feels better very soon.
