I have the exact opposite problem, her regurgitation problem is much worse with fatty foods.

Hello all. Our megaesophagus kittie Capulcu is almost a year old now, and we've come a looong way in the 6 months, from 1.2kg to 3kg now. But she's a big girl, and the 3kg is just way too skinny for her, and it also gives us no room for any weight loss if we have another set back. I'm looking...

I have a raw fed little girl with mild CKD and megaesophagus. Because of the ME she needs to have a completely liquid diet. This morning we blew our latest blender (a cheap local brand - Sinbo), and now we have decided that as we have another 15-20 years of this to come, we might as well invest...

Thanks! Vet gave a medicated shampoo for her, I was rather hesitant at first but it seems to have done her a world of good, if nothing else in getting off all the gunk from her stay at the clinic. I will try and find the colloidal silver, but have never seen it available out here. I started her...

At the moment I'm still watching the phos levels because her BUN and Creatinine are still elevated (1.9 and 66), we will be repeating the tests in a few days. I have been watching our phos intake, going for low phos dark chicken meat, cooked egg whites and eggshell for calcium. I'm lucky that...

I will definitely keep you posted! We spent 7 hours together today at the clinic where I work, I'm lucky my boss has been amazing with her treatment. She had a barium x-ray today and it turns out the vomiting is actually regurgitation due to severe megaesophagus, this has changed our treatment...

My limit is 3, I have 6. We adopted and raised Mack as an only cat (we figured one cat and one rather large dog - a huskamute, was plenty), then couldn't bring ourselves to send Jackie back on to the streets after she was run over by a car and needed pins inserted in her back legs. Milka we...

Thanks for the link, that was exactly what I was looking for! I am currently adding 1-1.5 parts water to 1 part chicken thighs (lowest in phosphorus?) and adding the appropriate amount of ground up eggshell, and blending it to the point that it will go through a 60cc syringe. For a few days she...

It's a long story so I'll go through this really quick, 5 months ago I hand-reared 3 orphans only to lose 2 of the 3 to babesiosis at around 5 months old. I have one survivor, ironically the runt of the litter who has really turned out to be quite the fighter. The treatment she received has left...

I just can't seem to get the balance right with these guys. We've gone from diarrhea to constipation and back to diarrhea again. I'm not sure which I prefer, I worry like crazy that I'm going to lose them to dehydration when they have diarrhea, and I can't stand to see them in pain when they are...

I wasn't able to get goat milk, however the vet prescribed antibiotics and watering down of the formula which cleared up the runs. When the runs stopped we slowly went back to normal strength formula. Great? Not quite, now I have 2 constipated babies. Last night on my vets advice I gave each one...

As the babies aren't even 2 weeks old yet I think canned food and pumpkin will have to wait. Am trying to find rice cereal so I can start thickening their milk a little in a few days. Other than the runs they seem to be thriving, drinking well, very active when awake, growing well. Might try to...

Thanks for the advice. Just an update, babies seem to be doing better, less diarrhea even if it is still rather more liquid than I'd like. They're all taking the bottle very very well, vet has got them on antibiotics and had us dilute the milk with water 50% until the diarrhea stops. Feeding...

They're finally all asleep again, they do have the runs though which is worrying me slightly.
