PS. Fred told an AC he wasn't thrilled with the fluids, he didn't
understand the reason for it. He said he'd rather not get them but I
asked her to explain to him that they would help his kidney's function
better and keep him feeling good for some time. His values have
improved quite a bit and he still doesn't love it but he does sit still
for it and the 3 minutes it takes to do it to me is worth the 8 good
months he's had *and* he has gotten more grouchily affectionate in the
last few months.
I was very stressed out when we first started fluids, he fought me tooth
and nail, he tried biting me every time but once I explained why it was
being done and the fact that it was going to be done he got used to it.
His overall health is good his kidney's are just wearing out but he has
some good years left and he has realized he does feel better with all
I'm doing so like it or not the ten minutes total a day it takes to give
him his fluids and meds is a small price to pay for his continued good
health.
To me it's the same as if I had a human child, they hate taking medicine
too but we make them for their own good.
