I suggest you go to a deal kitty dental specialist. They know how to deal with kitties with other problems, and know how to work really fast, whcih is also...

I thought that IV fluids should only be given carefully with heart kitties because you don't want to overload the system since some of them already have fluid...
not always true. subqs are "more" of an issue than IV fluids but of course both should be watched. a drastic change is blood pressure can be deadly so IVs help...
Both IV and subQ fluids are dangerous for heart kitties. When our angel Chris was in the hospital for his CRF crash, the vets told us that he needed to be on...
both should be monitored but IV is the lesser of evils as it can be administered slowly but fluid is fluid. belle has had subqs and IV fluids with no ill...

So good to hear that he's eating some on his own. That's a good sign. His BUN and Cre of 100 and 5.0 aren't as bad as some I've seen. I think that there's a...
Thanks everyone. As there are no specialists and Ruby will not stay overnight at my vet as there is no one there, I'll try giving my vet a lecture when I leave...
Saylor was diagnosed with HCM in Oct. of '06. The last time he was seen by a cardiologist (Dr. Donald Brown) was in May and there was some concern that the...
