Wendy, I am glad to hear you are trying this with Cricket, and I wish him
and you all the best. I hope that his hematocrit is holding steady and he
just needs sustenance.

Hey
guys,
Per Belinda's information and the website she sent me,
I am
going to have a feeding tube inserted into
Cricket. From the
information I read and from the
vet, the procedure/tube is not very
invasive or
bothersome to the cat and it might actually save
Cricket;
I'm leaving work early to take him. I am
having a hard time giving up
on him. I hope he makes
it through the anesthesia; if he doesn't, he
was going
to be pts anyway, so we have nothing to lose.
Please
wish him luck and thank you all for your warm thoughts
and
encouragement. Thank you Belinda for the
information. I really
appreciate you sticking your
neck out there and offering advice that some
might not
have welcomed. You are right; Cricket hasn't
been
getting enough sustenance and I didn't know feeding
tubes existed
for cats. So I will keep on trying to
turn him around as long as he
will respond. He is not
jaundiced yet, so if he has developed fatty
liver
disease, we might be able to turn him around. Thank
you
Belinda.
Wendy
