As a human who’s had a feeding tube through my nose, it breaks my heart seeing poor cat getting it because ugh it’s so uncomfortable and painful. 😫I really hope feeding tubes are easier going in cats than they are with humans, because mine was torture
If the cat needed to be sedated they would have place a iv Catheter and administered propofol, if that's what the DVM ordered. My boss will sometimes have them come in on gabapentin. And worse case scenario, there's always kitty magic
@@tdkage I know, but if they use water to check that they are in the stomach and not the lungs, and they happen to be in the lungs accidentlly, then that would be dangerous right?
As a nurse, I was taught to inject air while listening to the stomach with a stethoscope to check placement. We also pulled back slightly on the syringe to see if we got stomach contents in the tube. We never injected fluid until after we checked placement, not even sterile water.
@@BishoujoMegami no because if tube had gone in to the trachea they would have noticed because the cat wouldn’t be able to breath and the tube goes all the way down to the stomach so that is really unlikely:)
I don’t like it I don’t believe the cat doesn’t feel that he knows areas of the most sensitive places I’m all animals and I wouldn’t use a Vet I did that to my cat are there any circumstances
