She had a shot this morning, and vomited mid afternoon. Then I gave her a shot tonight, and fed her 30 mins later...she vomited that up. We actually pulled her tube out, unclogged it, and put it back in. But when she vomited tonight, she vomited it out again, and bit it off. I'm thinking of getting some more tubes from the vet, and just putting them in ourselves. We syringe fed her 30cc along with her pills after that, hopefully she can keep that down for awhile. She seems to keep stuff down if you give it to her after she vomits. The syringe feeding is not a good thing to do with her, she gets so stressed out about it. Her breathing is fairly rapid now, and doing the syringe feeding, her breathing is super fast. I'm thinking we may be fighting a losing battle here. We can't seem to stop the vomiting, and while she's doing that, we can't keep food/water down her. She's going downhill meanwhile. I would like to try to feel less stressed and more positive around her, but it seems so hard. Everytime I look at her lying there so depressed, with her beautiful white fur stained from food/vomit, when she should be racing around the house without a care in the world, I just can't stop the tears. This waiting is definately the hardest part.

With every fiber of your being think positive and actually see and picture things going right in your minds eye, it will make a difference, I promise ... positive, positive, positive energy, I can't stress that enough. Not sure what your vet told you about the metacloprimide but it should be given 3 times a day about a half hour before the meal it is preceding (Kisa should get more meals than that but give the metacloprimide a half hour to the meal it is closest to). There are exceptions to that, Bailey needed to get his metachloprimide an hour before or he was still a bit nauseous when I fed him. Buddie, Bailey and Fred got 1cc three times a day, it helps to get the digestive juices flowing since they aren't producing saliva because they aren't eating by way of the mouth, saliva starts the digestive process. Talk to her and see what she wants............explain that you are not doing this to harm her or be mean to her but to help her stay with you where she is loved. She needs to understand what is going on. They pick up on so much but sometimes, like people, misunderstand or take it the wrong way. Talk to her. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ...
