I have a question for those with any knowledge about or exerience with CRF. The other night I gave my cat her sub Q fluids & after I pulled the needle out she bled. It wasn't a horrific amount, but it was enough that I got some on my hand & that I wiped a large sized drop or two off of her a couple minuets later. It stoped fairly quickly so I wasn't too concerned, but I was wondering if this a sign of progression of the illness? Is this something I should be prepared for from now on, or is it possibl I just knicked a small vein & that's why she bled. I would like to know if I should expect it that way I will know to hold on to her after the fluids & have a tissue ready to hold on the spot I pull the needle from. I normally just let her go because she gets upset & holding her would only cause additonal stress. Any ideas or suggestions?

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.

It sounds like you hit a small vein. I don't think it's something you will have to worry about all the time. I just got done reading an article in the Cornell cat watch, and they were talking about a permanent injection site for fluids. It may be worth it for you to check out if she's getting fluids every day.
I know this is diffficult for you. It's not easy to care for a cat with CRF. Alot of people choose to put them to sleep, and you are one of the few and great people who choose to care for and love them

There is a great website called www.felinecrf.com and this site gives you a lot of information. It helped me when I went through end stage CRF with my furbaby last November.
