My old cat has Crf

[kb2yjx]

I do not mean to sound trite, please do not get fixated on " the numbers." Instead, focus on the quality of life that Coco is having!!! My Boo, despite getting daily fluids, developed an E.coli URI!!! The fighter that she was, Boo bounced back from her URI, and was back playing and eating well! In the photo, Boo is sitting up straight while gettting her fluids. The white cat, was Nicholas(RIP), Boo's male nurse for the day!!!

Coco acts ok right now.
She is easy to give fluids to.
That is nice how yourcat sits up geting fluids.
Sorry about the other cat dying.
Coco is not my first Crf cat.
Stripe was and I had to have her pts after a year of treatment because she went in a coma and they thin she had a stroke.
She was 11.
Coco acts better then she did.
Thanks to both of you.
Coco has had E coli on and off for over 2 years.
I am going to give her fluids right now.

I am glad that Coco is doing OK! Boo was a difficult cat, and I dreaded having to give her fluids!!! BUT, she turned out to be a good cat to give fluids. Boo and Nicholas are both at the Bridge. Boo wanted to sit up while getting fluids, Boo sat up!!! She also like when Mozart was playing while she was getting sub q, I think it relaxed her. That E.coli infection was a bear to treat!! I was sorry to read about Stripe having a stroke....take care...

When I first started my Puddy on subQ's, she fought me tooth and nail, literally. After a while, though, I think she realized that she felt so much better after a treatment and that it perked her up, so she didn't fight me. Pidge is a real sweetheart about it except that she's ready for it to end before it's actually time. She doesn't cry or carry on, though. It's good that Coco is cooperative. I hope you have many more happy years together.

Thanks to both of you.
Coco purred when she was getting her fluids today.
It is so easy with her. Its easy to give her the bp meds also.
The Baytril and the Azodyl she spits out. kb2yjx so sorry you lost both your cats.
I know so more now then I did with Stripe.
I wrote a poem in memory of Stripe. Medusa do you still have your cats?

Puddy went to the Bridge last September at the age of 14 but Pidge is still w/me at age 20 1/2.
