Lots of prayers for Fluffy coming from Indiana!

Lots of Prayers for Fluffy and you too. My Mishi is a kidney cat too and there have been times when I had to give him SubQ fluids twice a day. Kidney cats do tend to protein waste and get very thin. I had no problems giving him the fluids and he was SO good in letting me, but then the big goon just loves me and will let me do almost anything (except clip his claws ) You do get used to it. Think of it as extra special time with your kitty and just treasure the moments you have together.

I will keep Fluffy in my prayers.

Many prayers for Fluffy. And you WILL do fine! {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Just remember this, his tests may not be as good as you hoped, but Fluffy feels and acts good. Can you really ask for more?

And Prayers, of course from the Found Cats and Porch Cats that your senior Kitty Zen Fluffy is going to spend as much time with you as possible.
Mr Fluffy Angel will vist and help anyway he can.

Fingers and claws crossed that Fluffy is going to be ok.

I couldn't agree more, Jen! Bunny, I'm so sorry Fluffy is doing worse than you thought. Terry doesn't quite pass out of the site of a needle, but he is such a softy that he couldn't stand the idea of giving the fluids to Tubby....at first. The first day we had to do it ourselves, I got up early and did it myself. Just as we were finishing up, Terry got up and was hurt that I didn't include him. He overcame his own squeamishness because he knew it's what Tubby needed - he wanted to be there not only for Tubby, but for me since he knew how much Tubby meant to me. I'm sure Tim is feeling the same way.

Ask your vet about potassium supplements also. Seems that kidney cats loose a lot of potassium. The instant my vet saw Tubby, he knew he was low on potassium because he was so weak. Since Fluffy is looking and acting normal, he might not have this problem yet, but it wouldn't hurt to ask the vet about it so you and he are prepared if Fluffy does need the supplements in the future.

I know you and Tim will do fine with giving the fluids. You will find that Fluffy really doesn't mind, and he (Fluffy) might even learn to realize that after the fluids he feels a lot better.

{{{hugs}}} to you, Tim and sweet smoochies to Fluffy. Hang in there because as you know, bad kidneys are not an automatic death sentence. Fluffy could be around for years yet - just like Filou.

Bunny, I'm sorry to hear that Fluffy isn't doing as well as you thought. You'll get used to giving him the sub-q fluids and hopefully Tim will also be able to you out. I'm glad that Fluffy is acting and feeling well and I hope and pray that he continues to do so for many more years to come. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
