    A little update. They've now given him a feeding tube.

    Matty said he seems a bit brighter and happier and his poo's have started to firm back up. Fingers crossed he's turning a corner.

    Vet bills are at £4000 so far. Luckily he's insured but it's having to be paid then reclaimed :oops: scary how quickly they rack up!

    Glad he seems on the mend. Feeding tube sounds a bit drastic though......

    Basil has started eating :heart:

    Just a little but for now but it's the first thing he's eaten in 10 days!

    Now fingers crossed he just keeps it up and can come home!

    No he's still not home. If he carries on eating though he should be home in a couple of days :)
