Cassandra,
I've had 3 cats with feeding tube (e-tube in the esphogus) and never
had a problem with vomiting with any of them *unless I was going too
fast or giving meds on an empty tummy*, once I figured out what I was
doing wrong it was no longer an issue. All of my feeding tube
Hi Cassandra,
Just read your email and see you have Kisa at home. That's great.
Are you home all day, if so try what I said. Never give meds on an
empty tummy. I'm starting to wonder if Kisa doesn't have pancreatitis
going on, if she continues to vomit once your feeding small
Personally I think this is a bad idea, she isn't vomiting at the vets I
would bet anything because she isn't getting fed enough, believe me a
vet doesn't have enough personal to devote the kind of time small
frequent meals require so they don't get them. Getting fed small
amounts every 4 or 5
I purchased Feliway, spent a lot of money, and it really didn't help. I guess
one possible, albeit monetary only, comfort is -- vinegar is way cheaper!

Melissa,
I understand your fear, but I *personally* would not be concerned.

Yes, I agree now. I was concerned last night, but now that I think about it,
one person in such a large organization as BF certainly does not represent
the whole; although, I think they should do their best to obtain moderators
who espouse their beliefs, but it doesn't always work that way!
The thing is with the vomiting though, I don't think its just because i'm
feeding her. For the last week, she's been vomiting consistently before I ever
feed her. When the vomiting first started suddenly, she vomited several times
a day with a completely empty stomach for about 3 days. We
PS...one question, how fast do you syringe the food down the tube. I've just
been pushing the plunger steadily but slowly. About 2cc per second.

I would push in 2 or 3 ccs and wait a few seconds then do 2 or 3 more
ccs. I always wait a few seconds to give the food time to get down into
the tummy. So I don't steadily plunge food in but give a few seconds
break after each 2 or 3 ccs.

Best of luck with Kisa. I know that can be so discouraging when being told
to put the kitty down or that it's not worth the money. It seems to me that
we'd do whatever we could for humans, why not for our feline family members?

Well, the bad luck is just continuing...I dont' know how much more I can handle.
I gave Kisa just 12cc of food followed by 4cc water. About and hour and a half
later, she vomited. I tried giving her some more, and now the tube is plugged.
I can't get water or anything through it.

I'm so sorry you are having to deal with all of this,

get better or Kisa will pass, but they will not stay

I'm glad to hear that Caroline is doing better.
