Vet called promptly at 2. Just got off the phone. Doing better, can come home. Blood work shows no sign of diabetes or thyroid problems. He's eating canned food there, so the vet recommends I switch to that here. May be a tooth problem, but nothing they can see obvious.

One concern is that when his hydration went up, his red blood cell count went down, so he's slightly anemic. They'll want me to come back and get that checked next week to see if it goes up, down, or what. With just the oddity in blood cell count, that may be indicative of cancer. If so, there's basically nothing that they can do about it, he said. So we'll hope for a better count next week, and meanwhile, I'm off to the vet to get him.

So good that your kitty's coming home. Hope all sorts itself out.

I'm so glad he's doing better! I hope he continues to improve.

Here's hoping it's just anemia. Hopefully some yummy food with icky stuff like liver in it will do the trick.
