| Why I think my kitty isn’t eating: He was constipated in Sept/Oct ’03 plus the stress of a hurricane; FHL followed. |
| Date when assist feeding began: | Syringe-fed orally at hospital Nov. 6th through Nov. 13th.
Esophageal tube implanted Nov. 13th. Started eating on his own Nov. 29th. |
| Why I’ve chosen to Assist Feed: | |
| Feeding Technique: | Buddy was syringe-fed Hill’s A/D via esophageal tube ’til he recovered from FHL, which took about 1 month |
| Appetite Primer Tricks: | |
| Food liked best: | Iams canned Chicken & Lamb; Hill’s W/D, Hill’s Kitten food, Purina Healthy/Hairball formula & Healthy Weight Management |
