It does sound as though he is/was quite dehydrated. How long have you been giving him sub-q fluids?


P.S. If anyone is interested, there is a candle group at Light a Candle called "PURR" for cats...I just lit one for Ripley...Every little bit helps...
I'm so sorry to hear about Billy. Yes, you do know what I'm going through. It's hard isn't it.

The vet set us up with the sub-q fluids back in Aug. but we've only had to give them to him a couple of times. For the first couple of years Ripley seemed to only need fluids about every 5-6 months but now it's more like every 1-2 months which I know is still very good.

Thank you for lighting a candle. That really gave my heart some comfort.
