Thanks. I followed your advice and tried to finish up with the remaining 50 ccs and when I put the needle in he yelped. I can't do this.

Fortunately, yesterday his stool was solid and no vomiting. I did give him pedialyte when I couldn't do the remaining 50 ccs. I contacted the doc this morning to see what I can do about getting sub-qs for him (or if it's even necessary in light of his active drinking of water and his loss of dehydration symptoms). (On Monday, I was initially told that I had to give him subq's for a week. I was told to discontinue pedialyte.) The problem is that my vet is nearly an hour drive roundtrip and I can't take time off work (boss is a tyrant), so I have to do it before and after work for the next 5 days and, unfortunately, it wouldn't work with the vet hours. So, I asked him if he works with a vet near my home where I could take Tahoe JUST for the sub q's. He said that he doesn't and if I chose to do that, the vet near my home would require another exam (and appt fee) before willingly offering to give sub-qs. Arrgghh!!!

By the way, when I brought him in on Monday for the vomiting and diarrhea, I was told he is sufferijng from pre-renal arozemia (or something to that effect). When I said "Is that Kidney failure???), I was told "No!!! It's dehydration". So, I'm confused. I'm being told that I should continue treatment for dehydration even though he is no longer vomiting or having diarrhea BECAUSE of his pre renal condition. Yet, he's drinking water without a problem and his signs of dehydration are gone.

What, if anything, can anyone tell me about this pre-renal arozemia
