My 11 year old sweet orange tabby was attacked by a dog on Thursday. I took him to the vet where he has been on IV fluids. They have done x-rays and a sonogram but found no internal injuries. He drinks on his own but will not eat. I have been feeding him with a syringe but his creatine levels are rising. Yesterday, he was acting more normal but still didn’t eat on his own. I took him in to the vet this morning and they want me to leave him for several days and possibly put a feeding tube in. The problem is he gets really depressed when he is not with me or my other cat and that could make him not eat on his own. I don’t want him to have a tube surgically put in if it is not necessary. He is my baby and I want him better. Any advice??? Does it sound right or is the vet just trying to make more money off me — I have already paid over $1200. My cat’s health is more important that $$ I just don’t want him to go through unnecessary surgery.
