    You really need to assist feed. I know they hate it and it gets messy but if you don't he will develop fatty liver. Water down pate foods in a feeding syringe.

    I agree with the assist feeding if you can manage it. Never mind the mess. I know - I've been there.

    I gave insulin. I thought he was going. He is still here this morning.

    Okay, that is what the vet told me was 200 2x per day. So, should back off to 100 1x?

    Yes, I am doing a watered down pate. Will keep that up. I feed him several times per day about a teaspoon+ per time. Need to cut his claws :eek:

    Just got up, so haven't tested or anything. Wanted to see what you all had to say.

    Thank you!:bighug:

    BS 456 gave 100 ml fluids and some food.

    He is about the same as yesterday.

    Thanks for everything!

    The fluids should be 10 ml per pound. If he's 11 lbs I'd do 100-110 ml. And make sure the previous fluids have fully absorbed (no bump) 200 can stress out the heart. Does he seem dehydrated? Feel his gums... Are they sticky or wet? Does his scruff snap back in 1-2 seconds or does it take longer.

    Okay, did the 100. The fluids definitely are absorbed because he is always a little dehydrated. I use the scruff test.

    I gave him his insulin. Will test shortly. Thank you!

    If you really feel he needs more than the 100 maybe do 75 twice a day instead of a huge amount all at once

    I've been wondering how you're doing. Please know that you are always always welcome to just get on here and post whatever you're thinking. Sometimes sharing grief helps with the healing, and this is a place where the love for a kitty is well understood and shared. Sending you lots of love!
