Not another one...

So - my kitty Drizz hasn't been eating.  For a little while it was a spotty thing - he'd eat sometimes, but not other times.  He's always been a bit wonky about his tummy so I've been letting it slide... only now recently been all lethargic and appears to not even be TRYING to eat anymore. 

This morning he had a trip to the vet - and he's still there for the day.  The Dr. couldn't find anything outwardly wrong - his teeth look fine (a toothache would have been the easiest reason he hasn't been eating... yank the bad tooth and ta-da, happy kitty) but he also doesn't have a fever or anything (so, not SICK...)  They took an x-ray of his belly and the only evident thing is that he's got lots of poo stored up.  His liver looks all right, and as far as the Dr. could tell, there wasn't anything blocking his intestines (some kitties like to eat stuff they shouldn't... I've got two cats who do that, but Drizz never really has). 

He'll get some bloodwork done (please don't let it be a liver thing... that's how my mom's cat died), and an enema (poor kitty) and then another x-ray.  And beyond that... the Dr. said we might have to open him up to physically see if we can find anything wrong.

:(

Someone tell my kitties that they're not allowed to be sick or have problems so soon after having to say goodbye to one.  I really don't want to have to deal with all this stress again.

(There is the thought that Drizz is just *depressed*, since this has happened in the 2 weeks or so that it's been since Kaylee's death.  But... honest, Drizz and Kaylee were never what I'd call "close".  At best, he was the one kitty of the household who didn't seem to mind her presence.  Mostly though, they just stayed out of each other's way.  BUT, I suppose, who knows how a kitty's mind works?  Maybe it's just the simple fact that a member of the household is missing that has him all thrown off.  I wish there were kitty psychologists who could tell me what he's thinking, before we resort to potentially dangerous surgery needlessly.)
