Yes a feeding tube is the only thing that may turn him around, and his chances have gone down because he is getting worse, best case scenario would have been to get the tube before this got worse, but that's a mute point now, he needs food and an e-tube is what he needs, I would think an emergency vet could provide that but not sure. Once he has a tube I can help alot Buddie had her tube for about 2 months give or take, but the last few month or so it was just there incase, she was eating agin already, as I said though Buddie started eating alittle even after her surgery, I didn't want to wait for the tube until she was in crisis after she fought so hard to beat the sepsis.
If you get the tube make sure and get 20 cc syringes, they seem to be the easiest to use. Get metocholprimde which needs to be given 3 times a day before the first meal, the third meal and the 5th meal (I was feeding Buddie 5 to 6 times a day), it gets the digestive juices going to help kitties not throw the food back up. The e-tube is the easiest to go with and it is for short term us (my vet had one cat that had hers for up to a year though, so it can last longer), when Buddies was removed it was still in perfect condition. -- Belinda Happiness is being owned by cats ...
