I warmed up the fluid bag in a bowel of warm water, but I guess it's just the sensation of water under the skin that makes her jump.. I just can't get her to sit still. Have tried it in various places, on her favorite piano bench cushion, chair cushion, etc. She wouldn't sit in a box or anything like that. She does not like to be picked up or held/confined in any way, but will sit on my lap when I sit down, so is cuddly that way.They told me at the shelter 10 years ago she's part Abyssinian, very active, a little bit tabby, too - very sweet. She's 17-18 years old. When she got the fluids last at the vet, a couple months ago, soon she was hungry as a horse again eating 4 or more 3 ounce cans of food a day, but now suddenly no appetite again. She gets whatever she wants, Fancy Feast, plus a variety of gluten-free stuff, though that's difficult to find something she likes lately. She liked By Nature Beef and Liver a lot, but then they changed the formula and put alfalfa meal and flaxseed in it and she won't touch it now! Thanks a lot By Nature for spoiling that. Just got an order of Before Grain today Beef and also Chicken.pate. She ate a little bit of that. Otherwise, I just keep offering her favorites, Fancy Feast pate style and some grilled beef from them, etc. I try everything, fresh chicken I cook and chop up, etc. She seems very nauseous now, with the head down. I have been giving her famotidine in Pill Pockets, but the past couple days she won't take that either. Will anything else quell the nausea?
