Have an 8 AM appointment with an internal organ specialist tomorrow. Hopefully he will be able to shed some light. I'm also scheduled to see a neurologist next Wednesday.

I think bobs paralysis is progressing downwards. It was harder feeding him this evening compared to this morning. It seems like he was able to swallow less today, could be my imagination but it seems like it. His jaw definitely dropped some more and his breathing is getting louder.

Drinking is the real problem right now. Only method I found that works is crushed ice. I put a few cubes in the blender and then hand feed him the ice cubes. Nothing else seems effective. Tried even putting a rubber band to hold up his jaw but I don't know why that didn't work. He was able to lap with his tongue but nothing went down. For now ice cubes it is.

I'll post again after tomorrows vet appointment.
