Katie, Go out and buy some baby food. Get the chicken if you can, it is all chicken, just made into a paste. When Raul had an upset tummy this worked just fine. After a day or two I added the baby rice cereal, it is vitamin fortified. They just can't take dry food, even with bullion when their tummies are upset.

We had a rough night last night. Around 12:30 or so, Patches began to snuff loudly and acted as if he were trying to throw up. We were loading up to take him to the e-vet and I called them. When I did I was informed that unless I could give them the full amount at the time of service, then the only thing they could offer, if I felt Patches was suffering, was humane euthanisia. Well (sorry if I offend anyone) eff that. I told my husband I'd rather him sleep with me again and if he didn't make it, at least he'd pass feeling loved. Well, Patches did throw up a couple times, kind of brownish. Then once, white fluffy stuff. As afraid as I was, I just cuddled him close. After that white stuff, he wasn't huffing anymore and was acting like himself. Once everything calmed down, Neil realized that the huffing and all started after Patches had stolen a peperoni off his plate. Do y'all think this could have been the cause because of the spices and everything? Anyway, woke up this morning, Patches is prancing around like normal, just seems kind of hungry. We mixed some chicken boulion in with his dry food, hoping he'll eat. 4 more hours and we've reached the 48 hour mark that the vets told me is the "critical" time.
