Are those the red tubes that they put down their nose and then sew (or staple) them into place across their forehead? I've seen that done before, and it LOOKS horrible, but I have to say, it really did not seem to really bother the dog much (but that was a dog, not a cat). Still, I'm not sure I could bear the thought of sewing anything to my cat's head!

Kyle, something you may want to consider is a feeding tube. I considered it
with Simon but was able to get him eating on his own again. They insert them
under light anesthesia, I think they are called e-tubes, and apparently they
really do not bother the cats.  You can easily get full nutrition into her that
way.  I have been averse to them myself, but I keep being told that cats do not
mind them and do not mind being fed through them and feel better with the
food.

If the depo is not working, it is still possible that dex would help.  But I
really have no idea how much steroids even help with what Brissle has.
