First I want to thank everyone for your concern, comments and prayers. It's appreciated so much. I just haven't had the energy or ambition to respond to comments individually. I've also been doing some reading to keep up with all of you but have backed off on the commenting because my brain just can't think of anything worth saying.
Duke was back at the vet Thursday afternoon as she wanted to redo an EKG to try and get a better reading. She doesn't feel that there is any abnormalities with his heart and although she's investigated other possibilities she's still sticking with her diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia. At this point it's just a matter of finding the right combination and dosage of medications to get him better. He hasn't been eating at all but last night he did have a little bit of chicken broth and a small piece of a treat. He looked at me like I lost my mind when I was jumping for joy over the fact that he was eating a treat :)
I'll try and update you again over the weekend and hopefully with positive news.

Is he at least drinking? How old is Duke anyway? I love this picture of him and how he is laying. At least broth will give him some liquid. Poor little guy.

So glad to read that Duke did eat something last night. I know you are exhausted and worried. Thanks for the update. hugs xo (don't respond to any of my posts, I know you see them :o)
You know how I feel about that little nibble!!!...:)JP
Awe he's so cute - I hate that he is sick. Hope he gets the right meds really soon.
Dearest Duke, we will keep praying and you will keep getting better. Quite simple when you think about it. ♥
Oh Ann, I am so sorry that Duke is still not well. The 'not knowing' is the worst part so hopefully your vet will have a definitive diagnosis and treatment for him very soon. Healing energy and positive thoughts still flowing to Duke. {Hugs}, Deb
Oh, poor Duke! I don't like the sound of this. Please keep us posted. It's been two days since your last post, hopefully he's on the road to recovery now.
I have been thinking about you --and about Duke. I know you are worried and I certainly understand. Bless his heart... You and your Sweetie are in my thoughts and prayers.
Hugs,
Betsy

Oh Duke, we sure hope you get all better really soon. We sure send lots of purrs and some woofs and some hee haws too.
Duke! We're yelling at you! In a nice way. Get better! We love you!
Oh yes, we also lose our minds in joy when one of our critters starts eating their treats again.
