We have great empathy for Puddy and you. Our late Tiggy BCU* had renal failure and it was so hard to watch as he got worse. I did learn how to hydrate him at home every second day [subcutaneous fluids treatment -- not IV]. It was very difficult to do because I was sooooo nervous but he was hydrated and it worked for a while.

Then the day came when we just had to let Tiggy go peacefully to Rainbow's Bridge because he was becoming stressed. We promised him quality NOT quantity of life. That sad day was September 5, 2000. Our Tiggy had turned 15 on August 17th that year. Tiggy visits me in my dreams. He is always in his prime of life and I awake smiling.

We will focus on Puddy. Sasha and her purrents wish Puddy more time with you but only if she is comfortable.

Sasha & her purrents,
Murray & Susan
