Hi all...
Do any of you have experience or thoughts about having a NG tube placed for hepatic lipidosis? My normal vet doesn't place feeding tubes, period...they recommended a couple of places 2 hours away from me (which I think is insane...how can you not place feeding tubes???). So I called another local vet that comes highly recommended from my Sister. I talked to him briefly on the phone...gave him the short history and asked if he places "feeding tubes". He said his first recommendation would be an NG tube as it is much less invasive. I just haven't read much about an NG tube for hepatic lipidosis...All I can find is information about an esophageal feeding tube.
