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

**catnapper** · 03-17-2006, 07:13 AM

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!

Oh my, poor Brodie. I am sorry to hear that he is still vomiting. We have those Asian ladybugs around here, and I know that Sasha has eaten some, but she has never had a vomiting problem. I know it is awful having a sick one, and even worse when the vet cannot find the problem, let alone a solution. Please keep those positive thoughts! And my girls and I will send more warm thoughts and prayers your way. Please continue to keep us posted.

I might try offering a small amount of food every few hours throughout the day. Maybe Brodie's tummy would tolerate that better than just offering couple times a day.

When humans have tummy troubles plain white rice stays down. I'd make some up and try it. Worse that could happen, he throws it up.

Only other thought is since he is throwing up so much withhold food for 24 hrs let his tummy settle down, leave out plenty of water for him to drink.

I'd check with the vet again see if you cant give him something (medication) before he eats. It's available for humans, animals should be no different

OH NO! I'm so sorry that Brodie is still doing this. Poor little guy, and poor YOU! I wish I knew what to tell you to do. All I can do is send you big ((((((HUGS))))))).
