I did a little web cruising to find out more on amounts of fluids to give and blood tests. This site looks very good: http://www.felinecrf.com/ and is packed with information, including write-ins from vets. That site states that frequent blood tests are not a good idea, so it's an individual vet call I guess. I certainly didn't like it when they took blood two weeks running, but I went with the vet recommedation and it was okay. Few sites seem to mention amount of fluid, stating that it's case by case, but one said 100-150 which is what I was used to. However, another said that her cat had 300cc a day in his sickest early days, so another case by case call.

Are you with a vet that you know and trust? Have you always felt confidence in him/her? If so, then you need to follow their expert advice.

One more thing, and I really don't want to panic you but I do need to ask. Did your vet tell you to watch Cosmo for breathlessness while he was getting fluids? They can put pressure on the pleural cavity and make it a bit difficult for the cat to breathe easily. You will know right away because Cosmo's side will start moving in and out like bellows.

Cosmo's care can become a routine, but it is not easy. I absolutely hated and dreaded it, but then it became as routine as giving pills.
