Kenya stopped eating and drinking and after x-rays showed up nothing it was decided that he may have swallowed something that caused a blockage. He was opened up and they found that he developed Gastroenteritis which is a condition that causes irritation and inflammation of the stomach and intestines (the gastrointestinal tract). It caused extreme vomiting, diarrhea and lack of appetite which lead to dehydration and an electrolyte imbalance. Kenya was put on a drip and monitored for 7 days and by then had lost a lot of weight. There was a great fear that his kidney and other organs were going to fail as he completely stopped eating and drinking. He is such a fighter and had the will to live so on day 8 he turned the corner and started drinking on his own and ate a little. He is now well and truly on the mend and is putting on weight slowly..
