Re: Simon is worse again already

[Lernermichelle]

He gets Pepcid in the morning, and reglan 3x/day.  He is not really cuddled up anymore. He is more hiding and extremely out of it. He was lying in that position stretched out on his stomach with his legs in front of him and his head on the carpet between his paws, starting vacantly.  It's a position they only get into when very sick. About a half hour ago he did walk a little ways to get into a cat bed, and is lying in that now with his head more comfortably on the edge of it but with that same vacant look. I am hoping he is just out of it from the cipro (I gave him a whole one, which I was told to do and which I did 2 days ago without any bad effects).  He is extremely pale though so I think it is probably the anemia and the liver toxicity.  He does not want to be pet, which is hard. I do not know what to do, but since he was rubbing against me and purring and eating a little as recently as 11 am this morning, before the force-feeding, I am thinking I should just wait this out at least until the morning if he does not get worse.  He is not mewing or crying or breathing funny or anything.  Do you think this means he is not in so much distress that I need to worry I am doing wrong by him by letting him be?
