Pet Sitter gives Cleo her fluids

Because we're going out of town in a week and a half, I want to see our pet sitter give Cleo her fluids. Just to make sure she can do it.

It wasn't easy, but she got the job done. Cleo turned into a hissing, biting, running away alien with the pet sitter, poor baby. But she wrapped her up in a towel and got them into her.

Cleo is still off her food. Her stools are very loose and light colored, but at least she didn't throw up again.

Puss, on the other hand, has decided that she no longer wants canned food, even though she loved it just a few days ago. And it's not even typical CRF finickiness, either — she just doesn't want any canned food. She actually runs away from it, and if I have the bathroom door closed, she sits by the door and growls to be let out.

She's also decided that she's not too fond of the Select Care dry food any more either. It upsets me, because if I can't get her on a prescription diet, we'll have to start fluids sooner rather than later.
