I've gotten a few doses of both Cerenia and his appetite stimulant down him. That wasn't fun. He still hasn't eaten since Tuesday night. I have a call into his Oncologist now, waiting for word back. We may try Entyce. He's lost all of the leg muscle he gained back. We can't even think about PT again until he's eating regularly. It's been a long 2 1/2 months. He still seems happy, just very tired. He's still drinking.
Awww poor buddy! I'm so sorry for the struggle. I hope Entyce will help.
One thing I'm not sure I've mentioned: Have you tried a pill gun?
So glad your dad is out of the hospital! Maybe Riot will start eating now that the pack is back together?!

Thank you. We have tried the pill gun. If a pill isn't in a ball of something edible, he'll cough until he vomits it up. He'll still sometimes do that with food, but not as often. He's been off his food several times in his life. This is by far the worst, and the most critical that he does eat.
Maybe a dose of subQ fluids ...either at rhe Vet or you can do at home. Sometimes a dose can perk pf rhe appetite, even if they arent dehydrated.
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Wow! I think he's the hardest case we've seen here. But together we can hopefully find a solution! Let us know how the Entyce works. Had no idea of the bad taste. That makes no sense. Ugh.

He's still eating small amounts. I wish he'd take in a bit more, but it's way better than nothing. I'm picking up some hamburger and canned hash tonight, as he'll sometimes eat that. I started a FB page for him. Riot Rocking the Tripod Life. I post there every couple of days.
