I have a 15 y.o. kitty, Vlad, who has a carcinoma which has spread (abdominal, affecting liver and pancreas). He has been in hospital for almost 48 hours getting fluids so that we could bring his kidney values down so that he could get chemo. So far the values are still high and the doctor is not optimistic they are going to get lowered.
He also has HCM (Hyper Cardio Miapathy) so they can't give too much fluids. He doesn't seem to eat or drink too much, but when I was (prior to him being in the hospital) hand-feeding and giving him water, he would eat and drink ok.
I am really scared right now and I feel that there has got to be something else I could do to help him. Alternative perhaps. Something at home? The doctor said she doesn't feel he is in pain, but sees him as a candidate for euthanasia because his kidney function is not improving.
Is there ANYTHING I could do at home. Just take him from the vet and work with him at home with anything to at least help?
Thanks,
John
