It has been getting worse, she's getting thinner. Today I saw her playing, something she rarely does to begin with as it tends to hurt her. I'm going to be just as devastated when her time comes. I check her every morning just to make sure she's still breathing. Even when you know they're old, it is still a shock. They're like our kids, aren't they? Only much furrier. :DMel Chesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200734886454147170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16939453.post-10332738848511726382010-02-26T20:39:25.004-07:002010-02-26T20:39:25.004-07:00I have been giving my older cat Max fluids every o...I have been giving my older cat Max fluids every other night for about a month. Luckily cat skin doesn't seem to be that sensitive. I stick Max and he doesn't seem to notice. You just pinch up the skin and give it a poke.<br /><br />Max has a thyroid condition where he has no appetite so we have to give him thyroid medicine and now give him fluids. The last time we took him to the vet he had a heart murmur and a shadow on his lung which looks like cancer.<br /><br />Cats are so fragile and short lived, but I can't imagine living without cats as friends.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18215176294238619193noreply@blogger.com
