The good news is that Simba's belly is soft and he's not constipated like we feared. The bad news is that he's super dehydrated.
I'm going to spend the next 3 days getting him hydrated and trying to get enough of a poop sample to run a decal test on him.
On Monday, I'll take Simba back in and we'll reassess how he's doing. We need to figure out why he's got diarrhea and fix that. Luckily, he's got fat pads in reserve so we don't have to stress too much about his weight.
Hydration, fecal test, and then maybe a blood test to find out what's going on.
Simba's sleeping now since he had a hard day. He got his saline injection and now he's back in his tank on his comfy blankies.
Here he is going on a walk about at the vet. :) Overall Dr Folland felt very good about his prognosis and his current condition.
Hooray!!!
