Michael, wanted to wish you and Stitches good luck today at the cat specialist. Yes, he will need fluid urgently by now if he's not drinking and it should help make him comfortable. It is really easy to do what Hideyo suggests--giving fluids under the skin. (Believe me, if I can do it, anyone can--and my cats are feral. A vet or a technician will show you how. My vet showed me how without me even asking. It was a lifesaver at the time. take care, Kerry

When my Leo stopped eating for two weeks (just laying on the floor for two weeks) - the only thing he received was twice a day fluid from me (75ml each) and which was critical for his survival (and he did) - you could ask your vet to show you and do it at home - -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Cameron Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 10:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Dox and VO - Michael and his baby It seems stitches condition is continuing to degrade. he has lost all appetite and and i didn't see him drinking any water. I have tried a few different dry foods, to include the treats he loves so much, but to no avail. his breathing seems to be stable but by no means is good. i will get him to a cat specialist tomorrow or the Ohio State Animal Hospital. i just hope they can help us...i would/need to see him be his self again. thanks again for all your help, you all have made things so much easier to cope with.
