Back in the ER....dehydration ugh!

Are you guys for real? You have surgery so you can eat normally, not going back on restricted diets.

If he wants to eat sausages, let him eat sausages.

He has a high output ileo because he has a high out ileo, Some people can eat all this random stuff no problem. There's a picture of Bootstrap eating Mcdonald's like 2 days after surgery.

Btw, I went and re-read the whole thing again. Look if he's outputing crazy like this, I'd be really surprised if changing foods will make a difference I mean, if you see the bag filling up after 15 minutes minutes of emptying, that's crazy, imo. There might be other problems...

well, 15 years is a long time for a cat...let's see 15x7: 105 years..

105 years the cat lived...wow nice.


time to get a new kitten. new generation. :)

Thanks guys. Last few days have been tough for me. But in regards to hubby's ostomy, every day it gets a little better and we empty it less.

He is cooperating a bit more now.... I bought some benefiber and for now we got some electrolyte water, I ordered the powdered supplement but it isn't here yet. He has cut a lot of sugar out of his diet and we are no longer letting him drink soda or any drinks with sugar.

We have been throwing in thickening foods as much as possible... Apples, pears, banana, peanut butter, pasta, potatoes, pretzels. Most of the time now his out put is fairly thick or at least a soupy porridge instead of pure liquid. He also chugs some salt water on occasion too.

He did complain of getting a little dizzy when standing too fast though last couple days but I'm hoping we can keep dehydration at bay until our electrolyte powder gets here on Tuesday. Think that will help a lot.

We found some yummy water he likes called O-water. It has natural flavors but no sweeteners in it at all. It also has some electrolytes but not nearly enough in it.

I see a light at the end of the tunnel :)
