Dear Belinda and Wendy,
Mylo was given fluids by the vet through a needle and through IV. As well, I
placed water in front of him until he drank and I shot water down his throat
with a syringe. Hydrating Mylo was one thing but there were so many other
diseases inside Mylo that he needed so much more than hydration. He needed a
cure and sadly there is no cure for all his ailments: FeLV, lymphoma,
possible liver disease, inflamed kidneys etc. He barely moved and barely
ate. He was not happy. This went on for a month as I tried to find him some
sort of solution to his deteriorating heath. He was not happy and it broke
my heart to see him like that although I didn't want to let him go.

Hi Chris,
Last year I learned to do subQ fluids after my kitty
Julie was diagnosed hyperT, and I've done it on two
other of my kitties who got sick since then. It's
pretty easy, although I was scared at first to learn,
because I didn't want to hurt my furbaby. Julie gets
200cc a week because of her health, and it makes so
much of a difference for her. If you want the
company's info. that I order from, I will get it to
you. They are good and fairly inexpensive. But if
you don't feel there's much time left, at the very
least, I agree with Belinda, that getting your vet to
give Mylo fluids would be very compassionate of you.
Dehydration makes kitty feel horrible.
