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

[christa]

Hey guys. To answer some of your questions . . .

We have tried the small meals before . . . actually, that is all he ever eats, small amounts. Still throws up *anything* he eats. At one point, we thought he was OVEREATING and we tried to feed him less food at intervals throughout the day. At first we thought that was working and then he got to where he was vomiting even those smaller portions.

I think he just likes to vomit! LOL

As for the IMOM thing . . . I checked into it . . . and since "My veterinarian has agreed to work with me on a payment plan" (one of the non-qualifiying guidelines in the app process) - I wouldn't qualify. Unless I would lie and get my vet to lie, which I won't.

I am going to try to give him the wet food again later this evening. He kept it down once yesterday. Maybe he can do it again today. PRAY that he can! Poor guy needs at least a little food in his tummy!

I was just thinking . . . I wonder if he could handle like one little kibble at a time? Feed him his food like they're treats? LOL Maybe it's worth a try.

I was on the computer earlier and there was a few *morsels* in the food dish, I saw him fish them out & eat them. There couldn't have been more than 4 or 5 pieces in there. Anyway, after I got done on the computer, I went through the house, seeing if I could find where he TOSSED 'EM and I couldn't find them . . . guessing he must have kept them down.

So I might try that occasionally . . . food as treats . . . very very very tiny portioned meals. Like miniture meals.

Another good report --> Brodie ate another small bit of wet food again tonight & kept it down. Only about 1 or 2 tablespoons, but that seemed to be all he wanted. Anyway, I'm REALLY REALLY REALLY happy that he was able to keep it down.

Good to read he kept the wet food down tonight.

Oh Christa, I am so happy to hear that Brodie has kept his food down. If he has kept the morsels of dry food down also, I don't see why you can't continue to give him 4-5 at a time.

Come on there Brodie, keep meowmie happy by keeping your food down and getting better.

Yeah, I think that's what I'll try tonight at bedtime. Just a few morsels.

I appreciate all of your support & encouragement - everyone on PT . . . it really means a lot to me. & your prayers & thoughts. This has been such a hard time for us.

I hope Brodie keeps his food down and feels better soon.
Hopefully giving him lots of little snacks instead of big meals will help him.
Sending more hugs your way.
