OMG, what a great idea to warm up the solution and the line. My neighbour did mention last week that the solution could be cool going in, but I never thought about warming it up. I'll definitely try that if I have him home tonight. I am also using an 18 gauge needle but I have the smaller 20 gauge ones too.

As for feeding him during treatment, well he always stands up to eat so I'm not sure how practical that will be but hey, I'll give anything a go right now. I'll try the treats first and if that doesn't work, I know he'll go for the Fancy Feast.

He didn't eat as much last night as he has been but he did have a very small poop. Right now he is sleeping peacefully on the dining room chair, oblivious to the fact that an hour from now he'll be with Dr. Singh.

I also have to say, and put in a plug for my vet. Dr. Singh is the absolute best ever. He is caring, compassionate, patient with me and let's me pay him off in installments. He always returns my phone calls and answers all my questions in terms that I understand. I've been with him since 1997 and what a blessing it is to have someone who gives me the straight goods and not pussyfoot (excuse the pun ) around.

Well, I'm off to get ready.
