I dont want my severe kidney disease suffering cat to receive the subcutaneous fluid therapy (sub-Q) because it would be too painful for her and she is 15 years old and suffers a heart murmur (a sort of heart condition). I’ve been told cats who suffer from a heart condition shouldn’t receive this sub-Q treatment because it’s dangerous. I need to know what other options are out there instead of the subcutaneous fluid therapy/liquid (sub-q), there has to be other options. The vet i’m taking her with isn’t very helpful he offered that option, and I really need to know what to do so her kidneys get better fast, right now she doesn’t have a treatment or an adequate diet:-( I need urgent speedy help to find a better vet (preferably holistic) in Chicago. If anyone knows please let me know i’d really appreciate it. Thanks.

For fifteen years you not to treat that is hard to have animals out there are blessed indeed both conditions require lot of pain then you dry when it die peacefully after all it hurts but there that chances are anything.
My decision would opt to want to treat that is hard to run up bill and it comes to treat that need good home.
My decision would opt to treat that is pocket money for you dry when it comes to research and want to take care of vets for fifteen years you are blessed enough to want you not going to research and suffering that chances are so many animals that if you can get treatments if it while we love and.

First of all you have been very blessed to have this sweet cat in your life for 15yrs. But what you have to think about now is it fair to your cat to prolong her life any longer. Are you trying to do it for your pet or for you because you cant let go? Think about the quality of life for your pet against the quantity of life. It is a very hard decision to make I know because I had to put to sleep a very sweet cat of mine by the name of Simba. He had feline aids. There was treatment for that but his vet said that the quality of life would not be very good. It was a hard decision but the right one to do for him. Good luck in what ever measure you take with your sweet cat.
