I'm still thinking of you all and sending mega vibes to Lazlo...
I am not a vet, so take this with a grain of salt... I would probably feed him often and smaller meals a day, but keep feeding him. My understanding is that they do have a fast digestion - the food doesn't sit on their tummies for more than 2 hours or so.... I would also feed him lower fiber foods (doesn't bulk on his tummy with water) and more digestible proteins - probably lots of higher protein wet food, and stay away from kibble is a good idea. I wouldn't be scared of him throwing up - it is just that his stomach walls are so thin and this tumor is massive.... My understanding also is that those foods, A/D and Maximum recovery (??) are highly digestible - so you'd be fine that route too...Originally Posted by LDG
Ummm.... a question I should have asked him but didn't. How much is it OK to feed Lazlo? If the space in his tummy is so small, how much food fits in there or how fast does he digest it?
He keeps asking for more food - and I keep giving it to him. He hasn't thrown up (yet, knock wood).
Do I need to worry about him eating too much?
I would think so. I wouldn't give him all he wants right now. I think I would wait a few hours (at least a couple of hours) to make sure he can keep his food down before giving him any more. And I would give food in small amounts but often if he can keep it down.Do I need to worry about him eating too much?
Well, it's pretty much too late for that Violet!Originally Posted by Violet

Laurie, you're truly blessed with this doctor, he sounds like everything a loving cat parent could hope for. Most importantly, kind and caring. From what you're sharing, he will do his very best to help Lazlo without putting him in any danger from the treatments.
I will be praying very hard for the treatments to work.
