Yay, well done Punkin!! The lymphoma may be thickening his intestines, making it hard for the small muscles that produce peristalsis to get it to move. And what doesn't go down, may come back up. Nothing odd about any of it, given his condition. Just keep loving on him!! Good job!

If he's willing to eat, feed him. If he gets too constipated then he won't want anything. Hopefully things will just slowly move along. Can you palpate his tummy and see how it feels? If it's all still soft then no worries. You might even want to ever-so-gently massage his tummy if he tolerates...

That's pretty big for a tiny kitten. Not sure that will pass. As Dr. Christina said, watch BEAM carefully. Probably a good idea to contact your vet on Monday--it may be worth inducing vomiting to get it out of the stomach. But it's not an emergency right now.

Sure, as a treat it's fine. Too much might give a dog diarrhea because it's pretty rich, but the way you're going to use it should not be a problem.

That's a pretty common area for allergies to show up. Be sure to trim her hind claws so she can't do too much damage.

CBD will not help with inflammation, that is not the system it works on. The stomach lining heals very fast, a couple of days. A few meals, even days, without supplements, i.e., baby food, is not a concern. A sluggish appetite for half a day, or even a day, is not a concern, either. I only...

Whew! So glad to hear that!! Silly kitten! In this case, I guess you *can* buy peace of mind, eh? Yes, pet insurance is a good investment for you! 😁

Oh bless you sweet Joanne, you're doing a wonderful job with her and wow is she a TEACHER right down to her little toe beans! And it's so true that to help her get balanced, you also need to be balanced. I know, easier said than done! Keep going, it will be fine!
