Thanks for your input, Belinda. You have all been so much
help and thankfully I don't feel alone in this journey.
It's such a comfort knowing others have been through this

me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks so much, Diane. I appreciate your concern and good

We vacillated about which type of feeding tube and because
his RBC count is so low and he's pretty weak, we were leery
about putting him to sleep to put the esophageal tube in.

Sally,
If Lukey needs to be fed for more than a day or tow the nasel tube is
VERY uncomfortable, you'd really be better served getting an e tube,
I've had 3 kitties with this and it was a life saver, none of them had
any problems with it and all of them gained back the lost weight and
Belinda,
We were just concerned about sedating him to put the e-tube
in, since he's weak and his RBCs so low. Have any of you
ever had an e-tube placed in a cat that was this anemic?
Again, any information or advice I can glean from all of you
is most appreciated and heeded, since this is my

Typically a nasal tube is used at the hospital for cats too weak for an e-tube.
Some have used a nasal tube at home. You have to use a liquid food like
Clinicare with the nasal tube. Have you joined the Yahoo Assist Feeding group?

Bailey's HCT was around 18 or 20 when he had his etube put in. The
main thing they were worried about was clotting and he was clotting OK.
I don't remember were you looking at doing a transfusion? Lukey's HCT

When Bailey had his done it was done with I think a local and
isoflouren (sp) gas, the procedure takes about 15 to 20 minutes. I'm

hepatic lipidosis) didn't react well to anesthetic. He's got a harmless
