Susan,
Have you tried giving Yoda water with the syringes? Thats what I do with Tink. When I feed her, I do a squirt of food, then water, then food, then water, etc. I keep water in her. Dehydration will make your kitty tired and not feel good. And water will help with his BM's. And yea, I was SO SCARED with Tink....I was afraid I will hurting, torturing, etc. It was heartbreaking. BUT it would be torture if I let her lay there and die or have her put to sleep, knowing she would get better with just a little power I charged on.My cat came home Nov 6th and thats when I started force feeding.
Saturday and Sunday she wasnt doing much eating on her own, so I had to double up on the feedings, and it seemed like a set back, but I know its not. Like people, she has good and bad days.
She has been eating some boiled chicken thru out the day.So, keep doing what you are doing with Yoda and IM sure everything will be fine.

Hello, my prayers are going out to Yoda! You keep on and the little darling will get better. And Cleo's mom is right..she told me the same thing about the vomit! Tink would vomit 2-3 times a day for the first week!! i took a very different approach to my Tinkerbell and she is (knock on wood)improving every day. Today, SHE ATE DRY FOOD 3X ON HER OWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Hills I/D) I went ahead and fed her her usual 2hr feedings and then at 4pm she vomited ALL OF IT UP. Finally the vet called me back cause I was freaking out about her eating!!! and he told me to go every 4hr AS LONG AS SHE EATS DRY FOOD ON HER OWN! I obviously fed her way to much today (I had no clue on what to do until he called). Alot of this is just alot of internet searching and take it day by day and just praying. Tink is bathing alot more, walking around the house more and lets me brush her alot. I guess with having pancreatitis and FLD, she is just battling a tough road. Alot of her yellow is going away, and her nose is really pink. So, hopefully she is on the road to a healty life again. Please pray for Tink and I will have Yoda in my prayers as well.

Oh, I read on another FLD site that to keep a cat ALIVE, he/she needs to eat 36cc of food a day , and that the more they eat (without vomiting) over those 36cc will help them get better. If I can find that site again, I will let you know...(It might of been on Katharine's Link page).

Please help--My Tinkerbell has Fatty Liver Disease

Took my cat to hospital on October 28th, and got her out November 6th. They gave me instructions to feed her every 2 hrs with syringe and Hills I/D wet food. I started out giving her way too much and too soon (I think) because she would throw up every day...about 24 hours apart. I also was adding boiled chicken, scrambled egg and yogurt water to her food, (the vet told me that is what she could eat). So I pureed that all together and fed her. Well, after throwing up every day I decided to just give her the food mushed with water only. She kept it down a little better and after her anti-nausea meds, she still threw up. So today (Monday), I am starting over with SLOWER feedings every 3 hours with only 5cc of food per feeding. She has not thrown up yet and i just gave her her second feeding of the day. She is urinating. She HAS NOT had a bowel movement since she has been home (it has been 3 full days since she has been out of hopsital.)

I love my cat more than anything and if anyone is reading this and if you think im doing anything wrong, please tell me.
The hospital I took her too is 100 miles away, and the vet here isnt a good one, so I am basically alone.

Tink is bathing a little bit, she is walking much better without limping (she walked like she was drunk when she came home). She is drinking water on her own, but not a whole lot.

She likes to hide under my bed or in a dark corner. She plays a tiny bit with a string for about 3 minutes, and thats it.

ANyone out there, please help me. She is my child. I cant lose her.

Thank you.
