SusanS, Incognito asked:


My vet suspects this of my Persian who has been losing a considerable amount of weight lately. He is trying 24 hrs of IV fluids and if he doesn’t perk up, he said we should consider putting him down. Has anyone else had a similar experience. We are devastated at the thought of losing this wonderful pet.
I am well able to do a web search. I was hoping some people would answer with personal experiences with cats with this affliction.
