[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 361158, member: 6705"] Another way to hydrate a cat is to give them a bath. Weasel is only 4 lbs., never has weighed much, and occasionally gets hairballs so bad she gets dehydrated. I cannot afford $200 to have them give her subcutaneous fluid injections every couple of months - so we give her a bath. Water only. Towel dry enough so they aren't SOAKING and let them lick off the rest - they will. If she is not pooping, feed her Vaseline. This was recommended by my vet. But not much, like a finger ful. You MAY have to wipe it on the roof of her mouth. IF you can afford meat-flavored baby food (like chicken, turkey, beef - with or without rice) - that's a good way to get stuff in that they can digest. Just be careful - it's very, very rich. The hips - does sound like dehydration. Rattling kitty beads. [/QUOTE]
