BRODIE is HOME -> (AGAIN) Still Needs Your Prayers!

[orangemm]

Just now caught up with this thread and I am going to pray for sweet Brodie. Poor lil guy, what an awful time he's had (and you, too, meowmie!). It's so disheartening to progress for a day or two, then have a rude awakening and another setback.

Come on, Brodie, leave the bugs ALONE!

Hugs to you both! (((((hugs)))))

Poor little guy! I hope the new food does the trick.

I am so sorry to read that Brodie is still having problems retaining his food!!! Has the vet suggested that Brodie get 2.5 mg of Pepcid(famotidine) about 60 minutes before he eats?? We have been giving this to Ralph Syracuse and it has helped with his vomiting. You can find it in the grocery stores(the ShopRite here in NJ has their brand which we buy, it is a bit less expensive than the regular brand). It come in 10 mg size but with a pill spilter you can make the 2.5 mg dose for Brodie. I hope this might be of some help. Sandra

Glad to hear today's update. Is it possible that he might have to remain on wet food forever since that seems to be what he's keeping down?

I had no idea about the ladybug thing. I'm sure Pouncer ate a few of them in his day, but luckily we don't have an over-abundance of them around here.

Well, he kept the wet food down ONCE so I guess it's no miracle food. I gave him about a teaspoon full last night before we went to bed. He was begging & meowing & seemed to be hungry. He ate it and within 10 minutes, vomited it up. Let me tell you guys, I'd much rather clean up dry food than wet! That stuff sprayed all over the place! Luckily he vomited it up in the office on our hard floors!

Oh great, he just vomited up breakfast.

At least he got one meal yesterday that he kept down. I just don't understand how or why he kept that down and nothing else???

((((HGUS)))) He vomited it up already? Christa, I am so sorry. I have no idea what is going on, so all I can do is offer you support and pray that he makes a turn-around

More good thoughts and prayers to you and Brodie!
