Ultrasound doesn't hurt. They lay them on a table in a dimly lit room
and smear some jelly-like stuff on their tummy. They run a hand held
device over the area that they need to look at. The insides of the cat
will show up on a monitor for them to view. I had always been told it
was necessary to shave them, but someone on the list, (sorry, can't
remember who), said that they convinced their vet to try it without
shaving their kitty and it worked just fine. Any trauma that can be
avoided is worth it, as far as I'm concerned, and cats don't like being
shaved! Maybe they'd let you stay with him to help keep him calm. Something else you can syringe feed is Darla's recipe for chicken broth tonic. When I was using it for Gypsy, I also added a bit of colostrum: 1/4 cup plain chicken broth (I prefer it fairly watery and not too much fat)
couple drops PetTinic
2 smidgens of
KMR (VetSolutions Kitten
Milk Replacement formula)
2 smidgens of Slippery Elm Bark powder 1 smidgen of Acidophilus powder (Kyo-Dophilus) |
