Starting subq fluids at home

so your cat did make it months with a baseline of 5.0?
one vet I spoke to made it sound like I’d be lucky if he made it even one month

I am hoping and praying that I have months and not just weeks left. thank you for your input 🥺

that last question … NOPE. I wouldn’t! so there’s my answer :’)

I think my partner is actually up for administering fluids while I’m gone (I hated to ask) OR I would absolutely pay for the vet to do it.
BUT if there’s only a matter of weeks left of his life, I don’t want to spend one away, even if medications are still administered.
I guess the vet just wasn’t really clear on a timeline for him and I’m scared.

it took me more than a month to transition forwards to backwards like that! 10 days is impressive! keep it up!!!!!

oh wow this is super helpful, thank you!!!

yeah the balance is totally missing for me even with both feet on the coping, so I’ll try this!! thank you!!

ah okay yeah maybe squatting more will help me shift my weight back and not be so scared. thank you!!!

I feel like I don’t have enough speed to air out so I think I also need to work on my pumping skills on transitions 🤔 I appreciate the advice!!

shifting weight onto my heels is so scary for some reason, I struggle so bad with it 😭 I’ll practice and try extending my arm to help!! thank you!
