None of the ferals I help and neither of my inside
cats will touch canned or boxed broth. there are too many additives I
guess but they will eat several day old dry food instead.
If you have men who will exclude any of God's
creatures
from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their fellow
man.

Subject: Re: Lucy
Michelle, I just wrote you off-list about Lucy. I said
alot of the same things Tonya did. As far as the broth... if you have
some raw turkey, or chicken, toss it in a small sauce pan with some filtered
water and boil it until you make a weak broth for her. That will be
better than a canned broth with lots of salt and flavorings anyway, (more
bland). It's just my opinion, but I think 10 hours of fasting is plenty
of time to see if she can handle a teaspoon, or tablespoon of broth, or baby
food. Going too long in between meals and eating on an empty stomach
ALWAYS makes Gypsy vomit! When I would resort to Reglan with Gyps, I'd
only have to give her one dose before I saw results with the next meal.
She was so bad off at the time that you could actually see her stomach
contracting. N

Ah, but that was Patches who just had surgery last week. Lucy had
bladder surgery over 2 months ago. It has been anything but boring
here, unfortunately.
So did your ibd guy throw up repeatedly and only stop with reglan? How
long would you have to give him reglan for, and could you tell why he would
start vomiting all of a sudden?

Keep
us posted, but I really believe/hope it's nothing too serious if she's
only throwing up right after she eats. Didn't she have pain med.s
after surgery? Sometimes those take a while to get out of the system
too. Is she on antibiotics? Sometimes they can cause an upset
tummy as well.
