My heart goes out to you. Facing a pets illness is traumatic. My cat developed Kidney disease. I kept him going with fluids under the skin for almost two years. I did this at home, and he did tolerate it. Some pets can stand the constant pricking, some are just overwhelmed and stressed out. Only you can decide if you can handle what will need to be done to get your dog into better health. I know you don't want him to suffer. None of us do when health becomes critical. We are here to support you, while all these decisions are being made. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Pets are family, and I know how hard this is. ginnie
