Xander is more like Xander now.
Did you know the sun isn't even up at 6am this time of year? But I was!!!
I went in to check on him at 630am and he woke up and meowed. YAY!
Then as I was petting him, he purred. Double YAY!!
Then when I sat in the middle of the closet, he came to me seeking attention. YAY! YAY!! YAY!!!
Even though he is acting more like "Xander" we went to the vet anyway cause he needs fluids and isn't drinking on his own. They looked him over, said he is doing great and gave me a syringe to pump Pedialyte into his throat. He doesn't have a high temp and is not showing excessive signs of pain. (I also learned they rarely give cats pain meds due to the side effects being worse than the pain itself.)
I gave him his antibiotic and tried to shoot some Pedialyte into his yap... which means he is not happy with me now. Also, I have chicken in a pot on the stove now, even though Doc said not to expect much for a few more days.
They are very pleased and still want to check his stitches and eating habits on Friday.
Even though the bathroom and closet are a huge space for him to reside in for now, he is trying to get out of there, but with his brother trying to beat him up, I figure it is best to confine him.
Riddick is being super retarded and goes ballistic every time he smells Xander now. "Vet smell" is apparently masking the "Xander is my brother smell." sigh
