madbakerSunday was Galen's 13th birthday. Approximately, anyway - I have long suspected that the birthday the shelter put down on the form is a guess. We didn't notice until after the fact. I suspect our returning from a weekend away was the best present we could have given (aside from never leaving in the first place). Sadly, we were cheered that Galen only threw up two or three times in our absence. Our increasingly-neurotic-Siamese gets separation anxiety, and the throwing up is what has led to his massive weight loss.
Since we returned, he threw up all the times he was apparently saving up. Twice last night (the last at 3 AM) and multiple times yesterday. I discovered one with my foot shortly before leaving for work. There's really nothing we can do short of trying to get him to eat more calories - he's a grazer and will only eat a certain amount of food per day. Right now he gets half unicorn meat (aka vet intestinal-friendly wet food) and half lactating mother cat food, which is obviously high in calories. He did gain a pound back in the first month, but we haven't weighed him since to check.
