When I first rescused him, 15 yearsrs ago, he had a big scrape on his nose and the vet that patched him up had to de-claw him because he must have been stuck in something (his head)- maybe a tin can. So, his frony paws were a mess and the vet neded to clean them up and do stitching. Poor kitten! He was so malnurished.

But, he is a handsome boy! His nose has character, I think and his paws are kind of stbby, but work just fine.

I just hope his tests come back with some good news in terms of the decline of kidney function. I really want him around for a few more years. Don't mind doing the sub-q at all for him. In fact, he purrs while getting the fluids. yes, I sing the song then, too!

My kitty hated getting his subq's, even though it made him feel better. Another kitty of mine was a diabetic and I had to give her insulin shots 2 times a day. She learned to like her shots.
I hope you get some good news on your sweet boy
