There are 2 main causes of gastroenteritis, viral and bacterial.
One of the most difficult things is trying to determine exactly whats you are dealing with as so many illnesses carry the same symptoms i.e. vomitting, diarrhoea etc. Is is possible he has eaten something outside?
Is he over weight at all?
The worry about pancreatitis and his inability to eat can cause hepatic lipidosis or fatty liver disease.
Is is possible to syringe feed him?
When cats stop eating they get a build up of excess tummy acid, just as you and I would, this is what makes them vomit bile and can turn into a viscous circle. The excess tummy acid makes them feel sick so they wont eat but they would actually feel a litle better if they had a little food inside them.
I know how worried you must be Jane but please stay strong for him, he needs you to be strong for him right now.
If you need an ear to listen just pm me and we can exchange numbers if you like. xxx

Have just been reading this, makes for easier understanding of IBS as some other links are very lengthy and full of vet jargon etc, so thought it might be useful.

Re: Simon realy poorly


Simons back in the vets. We took him in this morning and they kept him in. He ate a little when he first came back from the vets yesterday but threw it up about 4 hours later. He had some food last night and kept it down we havent seen him drink though. The vet couldnt express any urine so he is either going too have his bladder expressed or he is going to be catherterised. The vet phoned the lab up for his blood test results some are back but some are not we have too phone up at 5pm too see how he is i am praying he will be back as its would have been my daughters 18th birthday tomorror and i need him with me as he is my baby and he always comes to me when i am upset.

Re: Simon realy poorly


There are keeping Simon in tonight i have to phone at 10am tomorrow. He has a catherter fitted and the blood results have come back but the receptionist couldnt disscus them or the vet could. We cant believe he is ill again he hasnt been ill for about 1yr and he is such a sweetheart too me he loves given me cuddles. Its realy quiet here all the other cats are subude and i am sure they know there is something wrong and last night they all washed him but he didnt want a bar of it. My daughters have got a friend staying tonight she is only 6 and loves coming here, we are going to play on the Wii tonight and hopefuly it will take me worring about Simon all the time, I have had a realy bad headache all day without my baby boy.
