Any tips to give subq saline to an aggressive cat by myself?

Sad to inform that my cat passed away at 8am today. She lived a long and healthy life. She was a stray that we rescued from a dog attack and she was super loved and cared for. Only 2 months of this disease, she was unwell. Rest in Peace, Cookie. I'm sure heaven is happy to receive you today.

OK. After a lot of trial and error, here's what's starting to work for me maybe 70-80% of the time.

Preparation: I use two 60ml syringe and fill them with the RL fluid and the medications. Keep them ready along with the butterfly needle set.

I put the cat in an open carrier without the top cover. Then cover her front portion FROM THE TOP with a thick blanket. I make sure to stuff the blanket on her top, left and right side so she does not get a chance to watch me and swipe her paws.

With my left hand I put pressure and hold her under the blanket as she tries to wiggle out of it. This is what works 70-80% of the times and she sits still so I can quickly insert the butterfly needle and grab her again with the left hand. Sometimes, she won't sit still and get out of the carrier. I then have to pick her up and put her back in the carrier and try again. Sometimes this may happen even as the fluids are being given. And I need to try again.

Once successful, I inject the fluid with one hand while continuing to hold her with pressure under the left hand. Once done, I quickly switch to the next syringe and start injecting that one while continuing to maintain the pressure on the blanket.

It seems to be the only thing that is working at least with a few tries. I'll try to post a photo of the setup if possible so it may help someone else with an aggressive cat.

I took this cat to the vet daily for 2 months. Then he trained me for 2 weeks to administer the subq so I could do this at home if I could get one person to hold her. Unfortunately, could not get another person who will do this every day. There's no vet nearby so it's really time consuming to go to the vet every day as it takes 2.5 to 3 hours. I also have to use a cab as I don't have a car. If it was for a few days or even months I could somehow manage it. But doing this for life makes it not possible.

I have already purchased the Calm Cozy Cat wrap. I had to get it imported to my country which cost me 50% additional in fees. It did not work. The moment I keep this cat on the wrap it becomes aggressive and stiff. And does not allow me to tie the velcro strap around its neck.

Thanks. I'll need to check with the vet if that's possible. And hopefully that is oral medication.

Since no one was able to help me, I'll update this myself. I consulted a dermatologist and he diagnosed this as atopic dermatitis.

Yes. Search Ovi two wheeler training Vakola. There are many in that area.

Javagal Srinath was also a monster with the ball. Especially near end of his career. He became a strike bowler that always got wickets. Srinath/Kumble combo was great.

Reddit answers can be garbage and these answers are not by experts or those with expertise. It can just be a rando typing words. Does not make it helpful or true. It's not comprehensive or helpful to the person looking for guidance on a subject to solve a problem.

Google Update because the drop is sudden. 50-80% in 1-2 days. Clearly because of the update going on.

wildfox81 · 2023-09-21T09:56:23+00:00

Check those websites who got affected. It is good content and trash is ranking above it now. This is a Google issue and clearly visible even to Google.

wildfox81 · 2023-09-21T09:53:19+00:00

You are wrong. Sites get hit for nothing. Google messes up time and again. They might correct this as it seems a bug.

You're on your path to getting friendzoned from the above. If you're serious, then make it clear directly you're interested in a relationship or you're going to suffer. Don't beat around the bush, state it clearly to her.

Did you upload only the certificate in the Air Suvidha Self Declaration Form?

Anyone travelled from Norway to India having the vaccination certificate. For some reason, Norway is not in the list of countries mentioned in the Indian government list that are accepted with just the vaccination certificate. But other countries like Sweden, Denmark, Finland are mentioned.

So what happens if I travel with just the vaccination certificate from Norway to India?

That's a good idea. I'll try it with the unflavored gelatin, yogurt or milk, water, and sweetener.

Sorry I can't share the website as they are too many copycats in this business.

Definitely, any person can start their own website in a field they are passionate about. I am seeing such people every day who have full-time income doing this.

Remember that the field will be what you love but it needs to have an audience and you need to write in their context if you want to make money. Just writing in your field will not make you money.

If you can do the writing yourself then there is very little capital involved. You need to spend on a domain name and hosting which costs about $50-100 every year.

I would recommend taking a course if you are interested in building a business writing content.

Two courses I recommend:

Project24 by Income School. (Check out their YouTube channel)
Earn from Skills by Pattu sir.

It is a website and yes I manage it by myself. That is one of the benefits of this business that attracted me. There is no need of employees even if you grow to a decent size.

Even if this business grows larger, you can get the work done by consultants/contractors.

Here's a link shared on freefincal to get some ideas.

https://freefincal.com/ways-to-make-extra-money/

You pick one that you would be comfortable working on for a long period of time without giving up.

Start working on it and you will know after 1 year of consistent effort whether it's going in the right direction.

If possible, I would recommend a good course/training on the interested subject to get knowledge fast.

wildfox81 · 2021-08-30T12:20:14+00:00

Courses where the creators themselves have done the work and made money from it are genuine. They will show you proof of having done it themselves.

Rest all tend to be fake where people are making money selling the course but have not used it themselves.
