We have decided NOT to have a feeding tube inserted in Mr. Meow.

After I gave it some thought, and then verified it with my vet (her partner vet suggested the tube) we decided that he won't get BETTER care with the tube in. He is easy to syringe feed and it is less invasive than having a tube shoved down your throat. I just didn't want to put him through more procedures than necessary (As long as force feeding was as good as the tube feedings would be.....I woudn't put him at risk in order to forego the procedure)

So, hopefully some time between now and Aug 2nd, the guy will start to eat on his own. (that is when he ges in for the ultasound).

So thanks Jennie, but no one will need to pick Meow up at the vet tomorrow.
