Cassandra,
I'm so sorry. I hope Kisa takes a turn for the better.

Well, I think its time to give up trying to force feed Kisa. I think
she must be severely anemic now. Her breathing is very rapid, and this morning
she was panting for awhile and it sounded very labored. She's in no condition
to be shoving food down her throat.
I don't know how long she may last in this state, but it must be quite
uncomfortable. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm trying to decide if I
should bring her in to the vet to have her put to sleep, or hold out and hope
she can pull off a miracle like Tomi did. I called in sick to work today, just
so I can be with her..since I don't know how much longer she can do this.

The metachlopramide doesn't seem to be helping. She had a shot this morning,
and vomited mid afternoon. Then I gave her a shot tonight, and fed her 30 mins
later...she vomited that up.
We actually pulled her tube out, unclogged it, and put it back in. But when
she vomited tonight, she vomited it out again, and bit it off. I'm thinking of
getting some more tubes from the vet, and just putting them in ourselves.
We syringe fed her 30cc along with her pills after that, hopefully she can
keep that down for awhile. She seems to keep stuff down if you give it to her
after she vomits.
The syringe feeding is not a good thing to do with her, she gets so stressed
out about it. Her breathing is fairly rapid now, and doing the syringe
feeding, her breathing is super fast.
I'm thinking we may be fighting a losing battle here. We can't seem to stop
the vomiting, and while she's doing that, we can't keep food/water down her.
She's going downhill meanwhile.
I would like to try to feel less stressed and more positive around her, but
it seems so hard. Everytime I look at her lying there so depressed, with her
beautiful white fur stained from food/vomit, when she should be racing around
the house without a care in the world, I just can't stop the tears. This
waiting is definately the hardest part.
