I am sitting here watching Fisher eat, and I am just very angry at myself for not spotting things and trusting the single opinion of the first vet. I almost put Fisher down today, and if it weren't for the second doctor, he would be gone. I happened to look at his water fountain, and I found food debris at the bottom. That explains why he did not drink the water. The debris was the same color as my floor and the glass bowl is clear so I could not see it easily, but he could. I have put white plates below the bowls now so I can easily see if anything is in there. I scrubbed out the filters and bowls. Of course, Fisher went to the bowl and looked at me as if to say "FINALLY!", and proceeded to gulp down a bunch of water.
This shit is just sapping my emotional mana. But the bottom line is that Fisher lives, and he is eating and drinking for now. THANK YOU for being here for support!

I could have asked specifically for the cat specialist. She only works weekends, and she is the same doctor who has examined Siete and my other passed cat Dante and also Fisher. The other doctor has only been there for 6 months. Some vet she is, the dumb bitch. 
If I had listened to her, my cat would be dead today and I would have been responsible. I have already chosen to go the extra mile for him, and she should have suggested the shot. It's a freakin $30.00 shot! That is nothing. And it brought Fisher back from the brink. Okay, the water fountain was my fault. But there are two fountains in my place. Anyways, both are now full of crystal clean filtered water and the filters have been cleaned in the pumps.
I leave in 20 min. It was terrible last night. I was up all night with him.
He is drinking too. To think that the only difference here was the fact that the dog specialist with cat experience gave a completely different prognosis than the cat specialist with dog experience. It is disturbing. The first doctor knew I had decided to do fluid therapy and was willing to try things, and never suggested the cortisone shot. The cat specialist doctor that refused the euthanasia is the one who gave Fisher the shot and told me to keep up with the fluids until the first bag is gone, and had me buy a second bag as well as gave me the kidney diet he needs to gain his strength back. Now, he is eating and drinking again? I even got happy tail. I will never trust the first doctor again. Fisher was snatched back from death.
