Ok, that's interesting and I understand all your doc says. The pred is for the inflammations and once they are kept down, they may even stay away.

The subQ fluids are for the kidney problem. If you cannot do it (and I know what you are talking about as Filou also doesn't keep quiet for one second and certainly not when I come with a needle) any vet can do it- you don't have to drive 2 hrs.

So we hope Puddy can lead a longer and happy life again
