He has an ulcer on his tongue but nothing worse than some he has had in the past and his mouth looked better than I expected, though I was hoping it was something like that that a steroid shot would help. The primary issues the FELV has caused him in the past have been stomatitis and mouth ulcers and persistent uri. His body temp is low. I forget the number but at least 2 degrees too low. They are keeping him and giving him supportive care while they try to figure out what is wrong. They have him on a heating pad and are administering fluids. I left him there and then we went to get something to eat because I was shaky. I have now been up over 24 hours. I just called and he did eat a tablespoon and a half of food on his own for them, so perhaps his condition is not as dire as I feared, though his condition remains guarded. I hope any of this made sense I'm more tired than I have been in a long time and I want to try to stay up til 6 for the vet's call or I will never wake up when the phone rings </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Sep 26, 2015 at 8:20 AM, Kelley S <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:moonvine@gmail.com" target="_blank">moonvine@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">We have an appointment at 9:40.

<div>Hi all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Merlin has stopped eating his wet food. I had noticed more and more food remaining in the FELV cat room and watched him carefully tonight. He is also not grooming. He DID pass a normal amount of stool (which I guess means he has been eating something), unfortunately he passed the stool on his blankie and then lay down right there. I am going to try to get him into the vet in the am, but it is Saturday and I know he will be busy. If he can't work me in I am going to at least try to get some AD and see if I can syringe feed it to him.</div>
<div> </div>
