I agree. I'm just now getting out from under dealing with the
beginning of Sammy's lymphoma and Billi Bi's plugged up little peepee
and all the problems that causes. All of a sudden you won't feel so
terribly burdened but when you are in the middle of all this stuff it
is truly overwhelming. Sammy and The 3 Orange Boyz and Lilibet and
Billi Bi say "Hi! Glad you're home! Much nicer being in your
favorite places with your own box and dishes and MOMMY to feed you
(well, better when you're not barfing)! Love, Headbutts and Purrs, Us"
"Consciousness is Causal
and Physicality is its
Manifestation."

Hi Cassandra,
Just read your email and see you have Kisa at home. That's
great. Are you home all day, if so try what I said. Never give
meds on an empty tummy. I'm starting to wonder if Kisa doesn't
have pancreatitis going on, if she continues to vomit once your
feeding small amounts more often, I would see about checking her
for that, there is a specfic test that can detect it, something
like a PLR, I'll find out my friend has had a couple of cats with
it. She has many special needs cats. One cat has had pancreatitis
off and on for the last 10 years and is still going strong, she is
14 now (the cat). Of course the vets gave up on her long ago.
PS. Some vomiting at first is probably not out of the ordinary
given her fatty liver,and hemo, she is very sick, some, actually
many cats get worse before they get better. Of course you don't
want vomiting every meal or it isn't doing any good, but with
smaller meals and I'm serious, 10 to 20ccs every hour or two to
start is big enough, and you will have to feed round the clock to
start. Sick kitties can take alot of work to get well when they
are as sick as Kisa is, but they will recover if you can devote the
time and care she needs. And once the antibiotics start working on
the hemo, she will feel better and hopefully start getting her
appetite back. Pleas don't loose heart, you have a long road ahead
of you but you can do it. I'm here any time you need to talk or
rant or anything. If she is vomiting alot you may want give
fluids, vomiting causes dehydration. Dehydration makes a cat feel
horrible.
