Thanks, I'll mention it before his appointment tomorrow, Im desperately hoping it isnt anything serious or long term though.

Infection can make them feel awful and this combined with being hospitalised on IV fluids-most cats would find this stressful and sleep a lot afterwards- I'm not surprised to hear all he wants to do is sleep! Presumably he's had a high fever a well. Glad to hear vomiting has ceased. Eating is a good sign though for one thing he'll need all his reserves to fight this! Also shows he's responding to the antibiotics.

I doubt very much if it's diabetes - bloods would have shown high glucose-though stress can also elevate levels artificially- for one thing and anyway it's sounds very unlikely all things considered! I also wonder if the heart murmur ( if recent ) is secondary to this illness as some are, and when he's recovered, it should resolve on it's own!

It isnt a recent heart murmur, it was first diagnosed about 3 years ago and the vet said it wasnt any worse, which was a relief.

Guess who is up and about and eating and trying to get out of the house? I'll give you a clue, he looks like this



I'll get a new photo of him tomorrow but I thought you should see who I've been talking about, The vet was very pleased with him and thinks its almost certainly been an infection somewhere that hes responding nicely to.

This IS good news and an excellent response. I'm glad to hear he's making such a good recovery!

Yay! He's looking bright and breezy, hope he continues to improve
