Baker the cat update 20190131_2: We took Baker to the vet today for a post-hospital follow-up. The vet ran blood work and was happy with the results. His white blood cell count and his BUN and other enzyme counts were all getting closer to normal. We were told to stop pain meds and to give him one more dose of appetite stimulant (at least) to get him eating real food. He'll have his abdominal stitches removed in a week, then his feeding tube out a few weeks later.
