Hi Everyone,
Okay, my poor Oliver was finally diagnosed with cystisis and I have to give him subQ fluids everyday until it is cleared up. I can do that, but here is my problem. I have to go away on business in a couple of weeks and I am not sure he will be finished the course of therapy by that time. Usually I get my neigbhor and his sons to come in and feed and play with the cats. It is WAY to much to ask him to do something like that. Unfortunately my vet does not offer boarding facilities and many facilities will not do this.
I can not cancel the trip because we are spending 2 days meeting with a variety of people. So I am looking for options.
1. I can change my hotel reservation to one that does accept pets and bring him with me, so I can treat him on the road. (He travels will and is very friendly).
2. I am only gone for 3 day, so he could go without fluids while I am gone
3. One of the techs in the vet's office said she would be willing to drop by and give him fluids (I am less than a mile from the office).
Does anyone have other suggestions or thoughts?
