Well, the longer she kept it down, the more she absorbed, so that's some good news, even if a bump in the road!
I appreciate the link. She did have a long lasting antibiotic shot about 10 days ago, so that could be contributing. I've got some forta flora. Is that substantially different than saccharomyces boulardii?Can you add saccharomyces boulardii to the portion she eats by mouth? That might help with the diarrhea. Actually, you'll use so little that it probably could go down the tube if she has no interest in eating it.
Perhaps there's other ideas here too that might be helpful.

Fortiflora contains bacteria strains (and not enough of them to be effective on a good day) that will be killed by the antibiotic. The antibiotic is likely what's causing the diarrhea. It is indiscriminate and will kill beneficial strains as well as the not so helpful ones. Saccharomyces boulardii is a yeast based probiotic that won't be affected by the antibiotic. The best s. boulardii to buy is the Jarrow brand which also contains MOS: a prebiotic that will encourage the re-growth of beneficial strains.I appreciate the link.

Oh, Pudge, can’t you please give Cory a break! Sounds like it did get caught on something though. Oy. I’m so hoping you can avoid another surgery! Crossing everything and sending Pudge some munchy-vibes.Update. She managed to pull her tube out.
To be fair, it might have gotten caught on something or just slipped out because I have not seen her touch it once in the last 2 weeks. The vet was pretty baffled because it had been sutured in there pretty good. They recommended we see how she does without it for a couple days since she's been eating a decent amount lately. If she does ok, we can avoid anesthesia and a second surgery. Send positive thoughts.
Hi there! I was reading through your thread and wondering how you and Pudge are. I have a poorly kitty and he’s been throwing up after Cerenia, so my vet just sent in a script for Zofran. Sounds like it worked well for you kitty which gives me some hope for my boy Boots. He has nausea and intermittent vomiting - no diagnosis yet, awaiting test results.Thought I'd post an update. I've still been giving her the Zofran and mirtazapine, but she's been eating 220-250 calories on her own since the tube came out (about a week now). I'm going to talk to my vet tomorrow about trying to wean her off the meds.
