Reply #3: I am so sorry to hear about your cat. This is a difficult diagnosis.

Many of us here have been there, and the results have been mixed. My cat made it only a few months after the diagnosis, but many have had a good life after. This thread has so many great suggestions that I got from many DUers when I first found out about my kitty and was freaking out.

Your vet will be able to give you better advise than we can regarding what you should do on the trip. The most important things for you to concern yourself with are food and water. The cat has to eat and will need to drink water. Sub-q may also be an option, and actually may be a necessity, but it is not a big deal. Good luck with your kitty and I hope this works out for you.
