Hi I haven't been able to get my cat into the vet yet. So I have been force feeding her orally. Giving her Natural Balance Cat food, watered down a little bit. she weights 6lbs, and is a petite cat. I have been feeding her every 2 1/2 hours / 3 hours around the clock. She is jaundice, we are on day 4 of force feeding. She is urinating about twice a day. Hasn't pooped in 3-4 days though.... She is going into the vet weds hopefully.
For feeding I have been averaging 8-10 ml of food at a time. so she gets 3 oz of food in a 24 hour period. I've also been giving her a bit of water. I would like to get a feeding tube so its less stressful on her. Feedings take about 15-20 minutes, I talk to her a lot as well. she hates being held or picked up. she is 4/5 years old.
If anyone has any advice please please please help me. My cat saved my life, now its time to return the favor. the thought of losing her brings me to tears. I love my Serafina more then anyone in my life, to me she is my child not a pet.
