Hi Mike,
I don't if the vet knows for sure what is wrong. She said his blood count was slightly
elevated so she suspected some sort of an infection. Noodle has not been vomiting
at all. He urinates regularly and also defacates, although not as much as usual since
he is not eating as much. I appreciate your suggestion of the Gerber chicken baby
food and I will most definately get some for him. Another person mentioned the
possibility of DIM, although he does not show all of the symptoms of that (i.e.
enlarged lymph nodes or pain). I welcome and appreciate any and all help that
anyone can offer me with this. We're all so upset over Noodle being so sick. Once
again, thank you for your quick response and suggestions.
