He is not on any meds. 4 days out of the week we are gone for 8 hours. I could
look into getting someone to stop in to give him some blended food. I have not
considered doing sub-cutaneous fluids at home.
I am suspicious of a hairball problem. He has thrown up BIG hairballs in the past
about the size of my pinky finger. He consumes quite a bit of the blended food and
doesn't seem to have any noted difficulty with pooping. I suppose dry kibble would
impact a stomach hairball more than blended food would. I will likely try to get him
into the vet in the next two days for an x-ray (although this has never been greatly
helpful in the past).
Thanks, Michael
