I pray, if he doesn't respond to this treatment, you can find someone who can take him & takeover the finances & his care, getting a diagnosis & treatment plan from one or more vets - even the State veterinary college. I can only pray that the current treatment will begin to help this little one & he'll start to turn around & come out of this horror.

Have they tried her on Pepto-Bismol or Kaopectate - things like that? Without more testing & a good diagnosis, though, I would probably be scared to try those without vet sanction. Those helped my Jilly when she was dying & not reacting to vet treatment of antibiotics, Compazine, etc., after all tests negative & they were discussing end of life issues with me. Two vets didn't know what was wrong with her. I decided she might be reacting badly to the antibiotics they'd had her on from the getgo. I had to stop those, keep her hydrated with vet-recommended Pedialyte doses & just feed her Science Diet Sensitive Stomach dry kibble(the wet caused bloody diarrhea) but then we'd tested all they knew to do. She came around & got well but continued to have similar episodes to a much lesser degree the rest of her life. I treat her the same each time when tests were negative.

I will pray for your little one & you, though I don't know what organizations to go to if you have to surrender him to get further testing/care if he keeps dying, surely your vet & local SPCA/Humane Society/local rescues can tell you who might could help. Prayer & hope are coming your way from Tibbe & me.

He is showing the first positive sign in 4 and a half days. He's kept the baby food down. I am about to give him another serving and then go to QD and get some pedialite. Maybe this is finally a turning point, I will let you know.
