But he's not recovering. He's not really eating. He's still purring, a little, and he still wants me to pick him up for "snugs" from time to time. But it's only a matter of time before his kidneys deteriorate beyond the point where giving him sub-q fluids can help. I wish they could. But he’s not recovering. He’s not really eating.

I don't have time to check it out now. But I'm not hopeful. His quality of life is slipping lower and lower. What kind of life is it that he sits on or sleeps in his cat carrier nearly 24 hours a day? He's barely eating again. How do you decide when it's time? The cat sitting six feet from me really looks like Tig, but he is a pale shadow of the Tig I've known for nearly eleven years. Thanks. I don’t have time to check it out now.

I had two cats both with CRF. One lived close to 4 years with CRF, the other about a year. Gave Sub-q's to them everyday. Don't want to give too much of it at a time though since it can cause a fluid build-up and cause heart problems. Might be interested in this support group. Very informative: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Feline-CRF-Support/ Meryl,
