Sally, If Lukey needs to be fed for more than a day or tow the nasel tube is VERY uncomfortable, you'd really be better served getting an e tube, I've had 3 kitties with this and it was a life saver, none of them had any problems with it and all of them gained back the lost weight and

Bailey's HCT was around 18 or 20 when he had his etube put in. The main thing they were worried about was clotting and he was clotting OK. I don't remember were you looking at doing a transfusion? Lukey's HCT was 14 is that right? That is about the point where a transfusion would be

When Bailey had his done it was done with I think a local and isoflouren (sp) gas, the procedure takes about 15 to 20 minutes. I'm not positive of that because it has been almost 4 years ago. I do know my vet had only done about 2 of them and actually had the manual on the procedure with
