Best time to go emergency vet?

[Piper's mom]

What about puréeing the chicken your feeding him and mix it with a bit of water or even some of the fat free yogurt? Could you possibly thicken it up with a bit of corn starch (while it’s hot) so that way you could add more water. Just trying to think of other ways you could get liquid into him. Of course you could use a syringe and just in the side of the mouth.
You could also add gelatin to the wet food to thicken it up. Sending prayers for Gavin to recover and some rest for you!

Good News.

He pee'd for me this morning, and drank after (yeah!)
He also wanted to go visit our neighbor who always gives him treats (I had her give him a saltine).
Then when I was getting ready to leave he made it obvious he wanted me to bribe him (I always feed him when I leave), so I put chicken in his food bowl and he was eating it when I left!

Feeling much better

Yahoo!!!! Best news all day! Wants to visit a neighbor and get treats means he’s definitely feeling better!
Thanks for the update Cindy!

So I'm thinking it was his anti nausea meds that helped the most.
I made some rice to add in with his chicken.
I am checking in on him while I am at work with my pet cam.
It feels less indulgent in the present circumstances

Great news, Cindy! I’d be living on my pet cam, I don’t blame you. Hoping things continue to improve! This is the best news I’ve heard all day…thanks for the updates!

I am noticing a trend, he drinks after he pees. but he wants me to hold a small bowl right under his nose.
when i got home from work he just kinda stared at me 'like where's my food'.
and he ate the chicken and rice

This is superb news! Couldn't be happier!!! All good indications that he's feeling better. So incredibly glad for you Cindy and breathing a big sigh of relief here.

Anti nausea and he’s probably finally feeling a bit better! I’m so happy to hear he’s finally feeling like eating! We need an emoji for a happy dance because that’s how I feel hearing this!

even better, i was cooking more chicken breast and i rinsed out his food bowl. he gets up an starts patrolling the kitchen asking for more food!
i gave him a small amount of hills I/D wet food.
