Johanna, I've only had to force feed my RB Pepper and he was a very large cat so at his normal weight he would've been about in the 14-15lb range. I also used the Hills A/D and my vet gave me several of the large syringes so I would fill 3-4 of them up before I started feeding him. I do remember the last time that I had to force feed him that my vet said to try to get 1 1/2 cans of food in him each day. Unfortunately this was impossible because he kept vomiting it back up. I hope that Allie will want to eat on her own very soon. She remains in my thoughts and prayers.

I also wanted to let you know that when I had Cirrus, he had the PU surgery and he was supposed to take antibiotics. He was given some by the vet while he was in the hospital but I was never able to get any in him. I tried mixing them in food but he was too smart and would taste it and then not eat it. He healed up just fine without any problems. In fact he decided to take his e-collar off a few days ahead of time and he was healed up enough so he was able to have his stitches removed sooner. Hopefully Allie will do just fine without any antibiotics. Good luck.
