@unk-p - He's already on grain free hypoallergenic due to long history of food allergy.
My vet is leaning towards cryptococcus, the ER vet is leaning towards cancer. First blood tests are sent out, won't know more til the weekend or Monday.
For now, he is home with me, I've given him his own bedroom with food, water, litter, toys and his favorite blankies and beds. He is resting comfortably UNDER the bed, and has been alert since I picked him up.
So it's a bit of a waiting game. Keep sending the healing, we're hoping for the cryptococcus because it's very treatable/curable in most cases.
I've got a close friend who has also had cat emergencies in the past, she will bring in some dinner for us and I'll be making us some cocktails. We've both had crazy weeks... #SilverLinings
thanks everyone for the support, it really helps keep my panic at bay.

@deetoo - he really is a sweet boy, has never lifted a claw in anger! Not even at the vet.
He's home and resting comfortably, in my daughter's old bedroom, under the bed. He's alert and doesn't seem to be in pain, but he's not eating for me right now (ER said he ate and drank for them).

Keep sending those healing vibes, it's keeping my panic at bay. Thank you and namasté!
Thanks everyone, and I apologize for posting mostly the same thing twice. I couldn't get the first one to post, so I re-wrote, and then both appeared when I came back and now I can't delete either. Weird.

Hey, Michele, I love all things Egyptian. I love looking out to see what animal has come to eat, cats, opossum or whatever. Also, I want to know what's behind that wall in King Tut's tomb. Love to everybody.
I want to let you all know that last night and this morning I could feel the waves of healing come through.
Arlo update: Bad news, it's not fungal, probably cancer. Good news, I let him out of isolation, he's eating and drinking. He even begged for some frosting I made and is sitting on me and purring. So he's a bit better. Even so, vet referred him for Neuro (and possible oncology) consults at a specialty hospital, we were able to get an appointment for first thing tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed that if it is cancer, we're catching it early enough that he can have a reasonable quality of life for a while. I'm still not ready to lose him, even though I have full awareness that any living thing can end at any time for any reason...
Thanks again and keep it up!

Dearest Laura,
I'm delighted you felt our energies of caring, compassion, and love coming through.
Precious Arlo, we are all with you no matter what your life path. You are so loved or your human mom wouldn't be moving heaven and earth energies to help you!
Laura, always remember that hope is as much for those asking for help in not walking challenging paths alone as it is for those on that path tnemselves.
The energies are for you in the days ahead in more direct ways than even for dear Arlo. It is us who dread being left behind and pray with all our hearts for more time with our loved ones facing medical or life challenges that also need those loving, caring energies.
So to you I send great big waves of understanding and caring. The bond between those we have loved and cared for our entire lives is as great whether they take human or animal spirit forms. Our beloved pets are so precious.
What a dear boy he is and how wonderful the connection between you. You and he will make wise choices and even closer bonds of connection as you journey together, always bonded and forever connected through theae times. ?
