Re: Hepatic Lipidosis

Gabby pass over early this morning. She had been getting weaker progressively all weekend and last night after her feeding I knew she would not make the night. I could just tell. She was not in pain.

Re: Hepatic Lipidosis - Update

Took Gabby in Friday to the vet. Vet said she thought Gabby was improving but still needed more food and wants her to sooner or later max out at 300cc per day. I asked about schedule and she said that was not necessary as long as she was having time between feedings to digest some of the food. Yes -...

Re: Hepatic Lipidosis

vet's strict instructions? Didn't get those! We are both working people so I feed Gabby in the morning and the 3 times when we get home 9 hours later. She threw up last night 5 hours after feeding which was odd. We're having a check up tomorrow (Friday) so we'll see if there is progress. She seems g...

Re: Hepatic Lipidosis

Thanks Traci - we have found that after the 40cc I've been putting in 5 cc of water to clear the tube and this has not been sitting well. I'm not waiting 5-10 minutes and THEN adding the water - this seems to be working on the vomiting. It's only been 4 days but we're learning the tricks to make thi...

Re: Hepatic Lipidosis

Thanks - I'm no longer "Guest" LOL. We went on vacation and Gabby was alone (but with good care) with 2 other cats, not friends but they were OK togather. However - her humans were gone along with her best friend Blake (dog). So far it's been OK with the tube - she does not seem to mind it...
