Happy Cat Family

Hi, Meowmy here -
Hi Friends, thank you so much for all the purrs and prayers, it really means a lot to us...
So, today was his 6th consecutive day on Tylan, so far no throwing up... The vet said he should be much better in one to two weeks - God, I hope so... I see no significant improvement yet - I guess some, but not too much... don't know if it is wishful thinking... (graphic description ahead) His poop went from completely liquid, explosive diarrhea (once a day) to the consistency of soft pudding, also once a day. No where close to be formed yet... I guess I'll wait to day 10 and call the vet again for his thoughts depending on how he is.
His belly feels a little softer, so I guess it is good news...
His appetite was low for a little while and he lost some weight, but then I can also attribute the weight loss to removing the high calorie food from his diet (EVO/Origen, removed since his UTI). I guess I should say he actually lost some considerable weight, which worried me yesterday when I weighed him. On his consult on the 8th he weighed 18lbs, yesterday he weighed 16.7lbs. That is over a pound in a little over 2 weeks; not healthy for an overweight cat. There are several things that come to mind - a different scale can be one - the vet scale versus mine at home; loss of fluids is another consideration... I don't think he is eating so little fo me to be worried... He is eating his two wet meals, and is still eating his dry food - thankfully, these last two days his appetite seems to be perking up - I have been watching him very closely...
I hope this works... It sure is slower than Metronidazole.... But then again, if I can keep him on it long term with no side effects, and it can take care of the problem, it will be a much better medication in the end.
He does seem to be more alert and have more spunk to him, yesterday and today he has been getting into everything around the house, probably a sign that he feels better... He has had diarrhea for so long, that it is hard to see the little changes on behavior - his behavior had sort of become "normal" to me. He was not lethargic or anything, but this last two days he has had extra energy, and It has definitely been noticeable...
I am just taking it day by day... I have a calendar on my fridge that I mark off the days he takes the meds and how he is doing - I do this every month so I can keep track of him for vet visit's purposes... Every check mark that he doesn't throw up is a victory... That is how I am taking it right now... One check mark at a time...
