This has been a tough 24 hours and we're still perplexed but having faith in Simon's will to recover.

Simon has been reluctant to drink water and is very fussy about food. This hasn't changed yet.

He did eat a small amount of rice last night at 6:45 (brown, delicious rice). When I tried to use that rice to give him his medication at 10pm, there was NO WAY that he was going to eat any rice for me. It probably smelled suspicious, you know....

Simon is having a hard time keeping his food down.

I'm wonderful whether it is one of his medications that is causing him trouble.

On the up side, Simon is showing more enjoyment on his outings and is brighter. His tail is starting to wag and he is seeming stronger. The pain must be subsiding.
