So I have another quick update. I just spoke to one of the vet techs - the vet had told me we could go and try to feed Charlie if we wanted, and I wanted to check to see how he was before we left.
The vet tech said they had managed to get him to eat a tiny amount of food. Unfortunately, when they tried to orally administer some meds, he vomited - but she said he was looking a lot perkier, and he was even cuddling with the techs and purring...that sounds a lot more like my Charlie! One of the things that had us really worried before we took him to the vet was that it had been a few days since we heard him purr.
So unfortunately, because Charlie vomited they're not planning to try feeding him again until 10 pm...so we can't go try to feed him. But I'm feeling a little more positive since they managed to get him to eat...however little it was.
Thanks again for all your support, pets.ca folks! I'll keep posting updates...
