Chubbster Blues **

Posted: 28 Dec 2009 10:40 PM PST


Chubbs has been feeling a little depressed lately and refused to eat for the past two days. At first he started throwing up and then slowly he stopped eating. He drank a little water though and kept to himself most of the time.



Naturally we were worried about our oldest kitty so we took him to the Vet yesterday. Doctor Chan kept him overnight for observation. He showed no signs of being listless and his vital signs were okay so that was good news. Smiley

I went to visit Chubbs today and Doc said Chubbs still refused to eat but everything else seemed fine. He suggested we take Chubbs home so he'd feel at home and perhaps that will get him eating again. Doctor Chan also gave him some Vitamin B to be taken twice daily to help stimulate my cat's appetite. My poor baby has been eating so well lately and I really don't know why he suddenly stopped eating.

Anyway, we got home and Chubbs seemed really pleased to be on familiar ground. He drank from the water fountain before strolling into my room to chill out with Phoebe and Benji. A few minutes later, I called the kids for lunch and Chubbs finally ate some food!

I'm more relieved than anything else that his appetite returned after a night at the Vet. We will continue monitoring his condition and if he stops eating again, we'll have to take him back for tests. For now, he seems fine and is happily resting at his favourite spot. We love you Chubbs, Get well soon!
