Gad to read this!

We have an appt with the vet tomorrow morning to learn how to do the Sub Q at home.

I'm happy there's a treatment for Scoop. I hope the subcutaneous treatments go well.

Prayers heading your way TLC.

Thanks for the update TLC. Good luck to you both. I hope things go well for Scoop and you.

Oh TLC, my heart goes out to you and your furry baby right now. I'm currently taking my ol' guy to the vet for what may be cancer or maybe kidney disease, and so I'm sending you big hugs and will keep you in my prayers. It's so hard when these little guys get sick, isn't it?

HUGS,
Tracy 🐱

Hope all goes well for your kitty TLC!

Thanks everyone. We have the Sub Q fluids at home to do every 48 hours. It was done at the Vet today, while they showed us how to do it. Wish us luck on Monday, we have to do it every 48 hrs.

So we made it through Scoop's 1st treatment at home with a lil hassle. The first needle, fluid wasn't coming out, so had to change to a new one. Then I put the needle in Scoop, pushed a lil too far and fluid was coming out at a different spot, so I pulled the needle back a lil. We didn't get as much in him as were supposed too, he started fighting it a bit but at least he did get some fluid. Hoping it goes easier next time. I was a nervous wreck. We have to do this, every 48 hrs and prescription food for kidney function. I hope he gets used to us doing it at home, it saves him from hated car rides to the Vet.

I bet you get more comfortable with it as you do it more.

Thanks Looney. I have a friend who has been doing this treatment on her cat, for 2 yrs now. She said her Bear, just lays there for his treatments.

There are actually some videos on YouTube of folks giving subcutaneous treatments to their cats. They make it look relatively easy, but I would be quite nervous doing this myself. I'm sure it gets better with time. And of course it's important that you try to stay calm and relaxed, for both yourself and the kitty.

Doctor TLC! I'm praying for you and the 'patient' that all goes well and everyone is back to normal soon. What a wonderful thing you are doing and I know from just trying to give a pill to any of my cats over the years, was a trying experience. Can't imagine the 'needle' bit. Ohhhhh!

I'm sure you'll be doing everything fine in no time, TLC. You can't help but be nervous at first.
And good on you for helping your pet this way !!

Thanks everyone.

More prayers heading up for you and Scoop.

You did good TLC. Scoop is a lucky kitty to have you! Take Care.

Thanks so much everyone. I had a lil goof up last night's treatment, while trying to take the used needle off, I jabbed myself with it, had 2 holes in my pointer finger.

Scoop will have to nurse you TLC.
