[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 655865, member: 1233"] Cisipride is propulsid and is not sold in the US as it caused deaths. hen taken ith anoverdose, you don't vomit it up. It had some other nasty side effects too. My mom took it for a while but the side effects were unpleasant. Reglan is metoclopramide and he likes the syrup. He takes a small dose and it hasn't been a problem AT ALL for him. The steroids were tough to get down at first, but we crush them and put them in tuna juice and he doesn't fight. We think he forgot how to chew. 2 days ago J's knee was hurting and she couldn't reach the cat food and no one else was home. So she took small chunks of the tuna that she could reach and put them in his mouth. In trying to spit it out he chewed it and then got interested. Last night in one sitting he ate 1/4 can of cat food (big can). He would get up and walk a few steps away, then turn and come back to sit down and eat more It was funny to watch, but he seemed to remember how to chew and that he likes to chew. So feeding him today was easy - we just warmed the food up (leftover from last night), fluffed it a bit on his plate, and let him chow. We don't feed him out of the cans ever. he eats off of paper plates because it is easier to keep them clean than washing six to eight dishes a day. I worry about bacteria with him because he has to be more susceptible to infection right now. He is funny because he won't have anything to do with cold food but he is nuts about trying to drink from any cup with ice in it. We are all using lids because we don't want him to get into coffee or soda, esp the coffee which he adores. Thanks for the warning on the syrup. I will see what the vet says about it. [/QUOTE]
