Mao has been to the vet.Cause of sickness was due to an infection in his stomach from the new food.He has been given an injection and will be on antibiotics the next three days.

@MaoSphynx
Hi Mao, I was sphyxn of the month once. I had to give @admin lots of flowers, bottles of whiskey and beer, chocoloates and so on. And then finally he made me sphynx of the month. Toa
:ROFLMAO::D:ROFLMAO:
No no no! Toa is just kidding. Every month they pick a name out of all the names ad random. So nobody knows who's going to be sotm and you just have to be lucky!

@MaoSphynx CONGRATS on being Sphynx of the month Mr.Mao!

Happy to hear the vet figured out the health issue!
I guess that food doesnt agree with him. Did the vet recommend any other food you could feed him to prevent this from happening again?

oh no :( what about even some pure pumpkin just to get something in his belly?
Is there anything the vet can recommend food wise?

I know you mentioned before he was eating vegetables, maybe try something that hes eaten before just not the food that made him sick of course.

Something in his belly is better than nothing.
Do you have any canned tuna at home that he could chomp on for the time being?

Im sad, I hope the vet can figure this out for you!

Is he drinking any water?

@MaoSphynx sorry to hear Mao isn't eating. Hope the vet can figure out what's going on. Is Mao still drinking?

Btw I don't think you mean he weighs 9 kg am I correct? Cause my boy Toa weighs 4,9 kg and he's chubby:).

Yikes sorry to hear he is still not on the mend. SO happy you are seeing a vet today. They may want to keep him for a couple of days, so don't be alarmed. It is critical he gets fluids and food in him so you are doing the right thing in getting him in to the vet ASAP. Lair Prayers are sent.

@Catzzzmeow they are keeping him for three days and he will have another operation today or tomorrow
@Toa and Ross he doesn't drink on his own so I have to force water into him through a syringe
@Mal I never considered giving him pumpkin and we don't have any tuna right now
@Maddie sorry but we don't have treats

@MaoSphynx sorry to hear he needs to stay at the vets. But it's probably for his best. What are they operating on?

Sending more healing vibes to Mao. And a big hug to you. Must be difficult to have him so sick at the vet. Please keep us updated

@MaoSphynx aww im so sorry that poor Mao is still ill.

@Catzzzmeow is right though, he is in the best place though, I am sure he will get the care and meds that he needs.
I hope the vet can suggest an alternate food to feed him when he his back to feeling well.

Keep us updated! Me and Pete will have Mao in our prayers tonight!

Hoping you and your family are holding up okay!!!!
