Can they get electrolyte imbalances if they are getting subq fluids?
I do syringe feed her, but it doesn't go well. Dr Samon is putting her on periactin to try to stimulate her appetite. On 6/5/07, Belinda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Some cats will go anorexic for no apparent medical reason, but the out come will be the same if they don't eat, disaster. It is important to get food into Caroline even if you have to wrap her in a towel and hold her upright shoulder height and syringe feed her. This is how I syringe fed Fred for about 2 weeks while we were waiting to get the feeding tube in. He didn't like it a bit but I got about a can of AD/KD mixed and blended into him a day, sometimes added baby food into it. His anorexia was due to electrolyte imbalances due to his CRF. He just didn't feel well and didn't want to eat. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ...
