PS. Marylyn, I hope you don't feel like I'm picking on you, just trying to
give another perspective. Terrie will ultimately make the best decision

Thanks Diane for explaining things to me about fatty liver and feeding
tubes. My Crackers 20 plus lbs...right now knock on wood is doing very very good
but if anything like this fatty liver happens to him and he has a hard time
eating the tube sounds like a terrific idea. My son was on a NG

on prognosis and its very difficult to tell without it --- FIP can cause

OK: Again, this is my opinion. I
would not want to be tube feed if all it was going to do was extend my life a
little. This has nothing to do with money but with quality of life.

Fatty liver disease can occur after only a few days and by few I mean
2 or 2 days of not eating or 3 or more days of not eatin enough,
overweight cats are in more danger of this but it can happen to any cat
not eating enough
I know this for a fact it happened to Buddie, and she was fighting
likewise with their fellow

Marylyn,
When Buddie got her tube she was making a crying noise I had not
heard before it woke me up and the minute the vet opened we went it, it
was very much like a death cry, very gutteral. They wanted to keep her
there on IV fluids and my vet told me she probably wasn't going to make
Besides fluids, definitely give SAMe (marketed through vets as denosyl, but
you can just get SAMe at the health food store if you can find out the amount of
SAMe that's in denosyl-- maybe someone on the list knows--) it helps a lot with
liver failure.

I have been told that tube feeding actually does not bother them. I
have been told that by people who have done it with their cats, and also by
vets.

I can emphatically state that tube feeding does not bother them.
When Luc had fatty liver last year, he got a sort of surprised look the first
time he felt the food hit his throat without going through his mouth, but the
rest of the time he just took it in stride. He got used to the tube
SamE (100mg daily). SamE is a time-release supplement... so it CANNOT be cut in half. I have a FIV+ cat that was sent home to die by our vet with liver failure... I fed him every two hours and dosed SamE and Milk Thistle and he's alive and well today.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET SAM-E OR THE
Hi Terri I am s sorry so many problms are happening. I am very dense
when it comes to sickness...luckily the worst I have had to deal with was an
URI. Anyways I am a little confused with fatty liver and things. Will doing
these things make Dukee better? If he is losing weight maybe a
s explains it a little, Kayte.
