I spoke with the vet earlier.

Yes, that much is obvious.

What we are trying to find out is some info on causes since he won't be able to be seen until tomorrow or Wednesday.

I think there might be a problem. Newt's eyes have been dilated for a while, but that is not unusual for him even in direct lamp light or overhead light...its outside light that makes him close his lens. I looked at his eye this morning and the lens is in a weird shape...like half is contracted and ...

I agree, but I have no idea where/when he is writing his message. If it is late at night or the weekend when he reads this...he should try to get some nutrition in the cat.

Julie, Newt is a little over one year old. He only has a stuffy nose, slightly lethargic, and anorexia. Traci, Thanks for the detailed response. I'll try to address all your questions: On the 11th, was a chemistry profile ran again? (enzymes, like protein, liver/kidney enzymes, sodium, etc) 1)No, th...

Traci, Last night we gave him some more Laxatone about 2 hours before we fed him his food. He went in and had a small BM that was normal in color/texture but a bit larger than a marble. His nose is getting more and more stuffy. We are still feeding him 24cc three times a day, this is about all he wa...
