Grant is going through massive hairball in stomach that won't move right now. We are trying to get it out so he doesn't need surgery. With baby food, I usually have to pat some on his mouth to lick off, and then he decides "oh, OK, that is good" and will lap it up pretty well. He has gotten worse today as far as eating so I have resorted to syringe feeding him. Did the vet give you one of those? Put the baby food in it, and then squirt a little at a time in the side of his mouth. I'd try that. Nope. We were not instructed to force feed him. He isn't keeping anything down anyway. I'm not sure that feeding him anything at this point is wise. I really wish there was a way to at least *reach* my vet today rather than be stuck with only the Animal 911 option. It's not that I dont trust them, I just feel more comfortable with the vet that has actually seen and dealt with Jasper. |

He's finally got a catmom who can take care of him, so he needs to live to be very old so that he can enjoy it. We honestly don't know what to do right now. He seems calm and comfortable, but I keep explaining to Tim how stoic these little guys can be and that it is truly hard to tell how much pain or discomfort he is in. Has he eaten anything at all since Thursday? And how much water has he had? |

Has he eaten anything at all since Thursday? And how much water has he had? A few bites of turkey meat yesterday is about all he ate. He might have had a few bites of chicken last night too. He has had some water but not a ton. He has vomited about 4 times since yesterday...and since I cleaned up 3 of them, I know there wasnt much to it...just a clear/liquidy stuff. Earlier today he was up and moving more. I am pretty sure he had some water voluntarily then. Other than that, it has been the ladle sips I gave him. I think he is afraid of more medicine and wont really let us near his mouth right now. I am inclined to just leave him alone and call our vet tomorrow with a report. His discharge papers indicate that is basically what we should do. |

Gare du Nord is a wide, pretty boulevard. Ummm.. nope, it's on the north side of the Seine. Gare du Nord is one of the train stations. Hee! Maybe I'm remembering wrong. I don't know Paris bynorth and south, but Gare du Nord would certainly be Nord. Maybe there is a Boulevard du Nord. Or a wide, pretty boulevard near Gare du Nord. I did most of it on foot. |

Put the baby food in it, and then squirt a little at a time in the side of his mouth. I'd try that. Nope. We were not instructed to force feed him. It isn't forcing. It is exactly what I did with the turkey baster. He isn't keeping anything down anyway. I'm not sure that feeding him anything at this point is wise. From what Phil said last night I agree with you. I really wish there was a way to at least *reach* my vet today rather than be stuck with only the Animal 911 option. It's not that I dont trust them, I just feel more comfortable with the vet that has actually seen and dealt with Jasper. If you have a bad feeling follow your instincts. They can tell if he is dehydrated and at least hydrate him. Just be sure they tell you every thing they are going to do before they do it. All they have to do is be sure he is okay until you can see your regular vet. |

And at least the emergency clinic is open 24/7 so if things change, we can take him then. it's not like we are under pressure with a window of time for their hours of service. |

I just recalled the name of the cheap and clean hotel where I once stayed. Look up Hotel de Medici! It should be near the Sorbonne! I heard a few years ago that it is still there! It is a funny little old place opposite a big expensive place with balconies facing its windows where people kept throwing parties every night. A bidet and sink in the room, shower and toilet down the hall! |
