Just a brief upsate on Chow Chow-- I gave him fluids subcutaneously for the first time today- I thought I was going to pass out - I really hated putting a needle in him. He was a little calmer than he was at the vets, but much more talkative - making all those unhappy cat sounds, poor guy. He ate well for a few days, now he's eating lightly again. She suggested giving him some pumpkin to soften his stools, I'll try that tomorrow. He'll be getting a liquid potassium soon, too. thanks for the head's up on that one, Tubby & Peanuts Mom!
