My so sweet baby, Gabby is in renal failure. The vet told us last month that she had less than 25 % kidney function left. We have been so upset. This cat means everything to us. So far though she is losing a lot of weight, she seems still happy. I have water bowls in the 3 rooms she usually stays in. She drinks so much water.
We started subcutaneous fluid injections yesterday. At first I was not going to do them when suggested last month. I hate to put her though any trauma but I am desperate now to keep her with me as I see the end approaching.
Has anyone done this treatment? Is it worth the trauma to her to do it? She hates it! But she did forgive me immediately after. I am hoping it will make her less thirsty, more comfortable.
Thanks for any information you can share.
