Earl McGrey Update - Friday Morning Edition

EG had to go back to the V-E-T ER last night. He hadn’t eaten very much since he got home Tuesday evening and was pretty lethargic. The good news is that is ALT level was down to 142, so it’s still headed in the right direction. The rest of his bloodwork was normal, with the exception of showing that he was a little dehydrated. He got some fluids under the skin and an appetite stimulant to try encourage him to eat. The V-E-T thinks it may be a reaction to one of the other medicines that he’s been taking (the Reglan), so he only gets that if he seems nauseous.

He chowed down at his bedtime snack (he ate almost as much as he’d eaten in two days), but wasn’t interested in eating this morning. His dad gave him the appetite stimulant a little while ago, so hopefully that will kick in and he’ll eat another snack.

Please keep purraying for him. Thank you so much.
