Buddy

Owner's Name: Petie Brigham and Lynn Atkins
Pet's Name: Buddy Age: 9 Gender: Male

Illness
Date Diagnosed

Feline Hepatic Lipidosis
(Jaundice noticed late Nov. 5th)

November 6, 2003
Recovered December 2003!

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
Food liked least: Hill's M/D & Hills I/D
Special Treats: None! None of my 5 like treats!

Medications, Dose/Frequency
None currently!

Weight
