I just had to share that I just gave the first no-muss, no-fuss, no
recriminating sub-q to Kami. She didn't complaining, she didn't
wiggle, she didn't try to escape prematurely, and she didn't pout
afterwards. I think she has finally connected the sub-q to feeling
better (or I finally did it well). Anyway, I got the "sweet spot" with
the needle, the flow was quick, she was still. She stayed put after I
took it out. I gave her a treat (CatSip milk), and she came back to
the same spot to lounge.
We might actually make it through this! Yay!

That's great! I never got to that point with my late cat, Cory, but we
only did it a few weeks. Even if I warmed it and even if it went in
quick, he didn't like it one bit. How long have you been doing it now
and how often?

I have been doing it intermittantly since February when it appears she
needs it. For the last three weeks I've been doing it on Fri or Sat
whether she needs it or not. I probably does her good no matter what
and it's probably good to have a routine. She can only have small
doses because of her heart murmur--around 75ml.
I'm sorry about Cory. When I first started doing it, she unexpectedly
took off leave me with a spraying saline line. I think we've come a
long way.
