Thanks, Tonya. That's exactly what I've done today, and so far so good. She finally seems full and did not want the last bowl of turkey and broth I offered her. She gained some of the weight back already. knock on wood. Michelle In a message dated 1/17/2006 6:42:27 P.M. Eastern Standard

Thanks, Tonya. That does make me feel a little better. She only vomited right after eating. She then wanted to be fed again! I have not fed her for about 10 hours now. I think I am going to wait until the morning. So you think if she vomits after getting a little food in the morning I

I once trapped a stray that threw up EVERY time he ate unless I just gave him little bits. He would just scarf down the food so quickly (whole) he would throw it up.Most of my cats throw up pretty frequently. Usually it's due to a hairball. You don't always see the hairball right away, but

I'm vegan so the only meat products I have are for my cats, and chicken broth hasn't been something I have thought to stock. A lot of vet websites on vomiting say to fast for 24 hours. I don't know if she has been drinking, but if she has she has not been vomiting it. She does not seem

I couldn't remember if you ate meat or not. I don't have any chicken soup either.Fasting for 24 hours should be ok.I know with people it's fine, andI've waited 24 hours with cats when it's diarrhea. I just think if it's been 10 and she hasn't thrown up she should be ok to have a taste

Ah, but that was Patches who just had surgery last week. Lucy had bladder surgery over 2 months ago. It has been anything but boring here, unfortunately. So did your ibd guy throw up repeatedly and only stop with reglan? How long would you have to give him reglan for, and could you tell

I'm sorry. I confused the two. Does Lucy have ibd that you know of or just the bladder problems?My ibd cat who threw up (the others had diarrhea) just did it every once in a while. I never could really attribute it to anything out of the ordinary. He had kidney disease and was on

Michelle, I just wrote you off-list about Lucy. I said alot of the same things Tonya did. As far as the broth... if you have some raw turkey, or chicken, toss it in a small sauce pan with some filtered water and boil it until you make a weak broth for her. That will be better than a canned

Thank, Tonya. I am worried that all the Baytril and food switches may have given her IBD. The food situation is complicated. She had a really rare kind of bladder stone that there is no food for, though Hills has done studies that K/D and L/D seem to prevent reformation of them. The Royal

Oh, it was removed surgically over a month ago. Her first stone was struvite, which we know because S/D prescription food dissolved it. But the second stone did not dissolve, so they removed it surgically and analyzed it. Now she is on prescription food and I am supposed to do regular urine
