It turned out my regular vet was back today, earlier than her office
had originally thought, so I got an appointment with her.

My kitty is back to eating.  She thinks maybe he had picked up some
bug, even though he is an indoor cat, due to the immune system effects
of the chemo, or it might be his long term problem (IBD? or something)
that long preceeded his cancer.

She said if he goes off the Cypro for 2-3 days, that should reset its
efficacy, alternatively the dose could be increased.  However, as long
as he is eating, I don't think I'm going to mess with that for awhile.

Interestingly, we also started the Cypro in October.
