I wanted to send along a quick update on how Briscoe is doing...we went to the vet on Friday and they were pleased to see he had gained a pound in a week and was very well hydrated. They didn't run any blood work on him because they said he was still a bit jaundiced from the liver problems but the vet said he was very encouranged and almost 100% sure that he would recover completely!
The trick now is to figure out how to assimilate him into our home with the other cats...I really don't want a litter box in my shower forever. Two things that the vet suggested for the future (after he is fully recovered) are: 1) a special diffuser that you plug in that is supposed to help calm the cat and remove some of the scent from the other cats, 2) Cat anti-depressants (specifically Prozac). Could I get some of your opinions on these remedies for the future? My husband thinks we might be able to very slowly get him used to the house and the other cats naturally but i'm not sure...
Thanks again for all of your help and encouragement!!
