Kitty no eat :-(

Riley officially hasn't held down any food since last Wednesday night. Well, I lied - he held down a couple pieces this morning, but that's it. So we went for another visit to the vet today. It was like the show Cheers - we walk in and everyone there goes - "Hi Riley! How are you feeling today?!" lol Like I mentioned before, it's sad that he's been there so much that they do know him, but I love that they've grown so fond of him and take such great care of him!

But, the news wasn't good. They're not sure why he's not eating. Could be one of a few things:

1) There is an obstruction
2) There's inflamation or irritation
3) Getting hit caused some of his organs, etc... to move around

They gave him an anti-inflamatory shot today. They said if it's going to work, it'll work within the next 24 hours. So here's to hoping it works! Because if it doesn't work by the time we go back tomorrow, they'll have to move on to the next level. Possibly an xray with barium to see what's going on. Ugh. I really hope this shot works!
