[QUOTE="Star*, post: 361390, member: 4964"] Would the vet clinic consider selling you a few bags of ringers and a rig and showing you how it's done? I think you could give her an sq IV easily - I've done it on several dogs we've had near death before. My other thought Susi* would be to get on Petfinders.com and find a local cattery or rescue. BEG them for help. Go DIRECTLY to a shelter and tell them you can't afford much but could you make a donation of $10 in exchange for some help or a test? I am so sorry for your little furbaby - My only other concern is that if blackie is in pain with maybe kidney stones or something like that? I think that is fairly common in cats. Also as far as the bath goes? Couldn't you turn the vent off to one room? Open the windows, make a warm bath to soak him in - and then take him out, wrap him, and maybe just keep drying him off with fresh warm towels from the dryer? Maybe a heating pad to see if he GOES for the heat? or warm up soda bottles filled with water and microwaved water? then wrap with a towel? Pedialyte for children should get his electrolytes back up too. I'm not very cat-savvy, but I think a stool sample should be taken to the vets - That would probably cost $5.00 - to have checked for parasites. Hook worms in advanced stages would do this. They are horrible. Like I said I'm not sure what else could be ailing him.....kidney stones comes to mind again - but I would get his poop checked. If it IS parasites? Find out what medications you can give - then check [URL="http://www.fosters.com"]www.fosters.com[/URL] or the feed stores for cheap medications. OR again - ask the shelters for a one time dose and a repeater dose for the eggs. if I can help at all - let me know. hugs Star [/QUOTE]
