Update On Byron's Health

Well Byron came home yesterday after spending two nights at the vets hospital. The trouble is that the vet does not really know what could be wrong with him. The test results for pancreatitis ended up coming back negative so he has ruled that out.
So we are none the wiser, we have no idea why he has lost weight, although the vet seems to think that his weight is not an issue at this point, why he is not eating properly and why he was in pain. I say was in pain but we suspect he is still in some discomfort and will be giving him pain meds this week (if we can get him to eat).
He was so happy to be home and couldn't wait to get outside after his two days of confinement. He looked bright and seemed to be fine but when we offered him food he didn't want any of it. We tried all of the three flavors of Felix food he normally likes, we tried a very posh food called Sheba and we tried his favorite treats, all of which he turned his nose up.
We later found out he visited one of our neighbors and ate there, so we are going to buy the same food they had which was Science dry food.
Today he still does not want to eat and drank only some milk from my cereal bowl and now he is sleeping in the garden. We have not been able to give him the pain meds as he has not eaten so I suspect he may be in some discomfort.
Yes I am still worried and we will have to keep a close eye on him over the next few days. I want to see him eat a hearty meal at home and then I might be able to relax.
