Being dehydrated is like having a horrible hangover, of course your
going to look and feel crappy, not hydrating is only adding to his
discomfort. I can't believe the dr didn't insist on it. This little
inexpensive thing could really help him be more comfortable.

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
not to move any other part of his
body.
What happened at the vet today?

I agree sometimes you come to a point where you have to consider
letting them go but in my opinion and *my opinion only* assist feeding
and fluids are in NO way going too far. ANY cat that doesn't feel well
for whatever reason can and most likely will stop eating, and
dehydration makes a
i will do fluids in a heartbeat for a cat--until they make it clear
that they no longer want it. i remember being really upset with a
kitty who just would not let me administer fluids, because i KNEW it
would make her feel better--she was clearly terminal (at 22!), and it
was the holistic vet who
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
I used to think this too but since I've heard from many AC's that
animals don't fear the pain sometimes associated with dying in some
instances and many actually prefer to go through the whole cycle I am
really more of the thinking of letting them complete the cycle without
my intervention.
i think, too, that i'm talking more about cats who accept treatment
quite well for a long time, and then suddenly say, enough. i am a
huge believer in giving fluids, and will do so often at the first sign
of punkiness in a cat, and have seen them work wonders--often one
application of subq fluids
this is a hard one, because actually, i haven't used veterinary
intervention with any of my kids in many years. i HAVE with sanctuary
animals who were seizing, or clearly in great pain, and i wouldn't
hesitate to do so if one of mine were in that situation. but i agree
that letting them go
Agree with this, I talked with Buddie the day before her surgery and
told her if she was ready to go I would be OK, I would miss her physical
self but if shwas ready to go home then she should. She survived the
surgery but went into cardiac arrest after in recovery. It was her
choice ad she
I agree with Belinda... I REGRET not trying all of that for Moogie (I wasn't
here on the list long enough to learn enough before I opted to have Moogie
euthanised). I don't want anyone else to have second guesses years down the
road. I'm just thankful that I've stuck around here and learned about
No, animals don't FEAR the pain of dying (and don't fear dying, for that
matter),
because they live in the moment, so they are only fearful when actually in the
process of being scared (and they don't have a belief system that registers the
end

Hi Chris,
*Can I ask what tests were run to diagnose this?* I know several
FeLV+ who are battling cancer and doing very well. One has been in
remission for 2 years. What kind of cancer, lymphoma is a broad term,
is it small cell, large cell??
My Buddie had small cell, liver cancer
PS. If Mylo isn't eating well he may very well not have cancer but
something called hepatic lipidosis, cats who don't eat enough or don't
eat for a few days, some as little as 2 days can develop this. It is
deadly serious and the ONLY thing that can save a cat with this is
food. The liver

that their suffering outweighs any pleasure they have left, when we
