My kitty is sick and needs water/food. The vet has me syringe feeding her but she’s miserable while I do this. But all the food that misses her mouth she obsessively licks clean. It sounds mean… But I was thinking of soaking her in the tub and having her “clean” herself off. To get some fluids in her body. She had fluids sub-q injected on Thursday night. The vet can do it again Monday morning… But I don’t want her to be dehydrated or starve in the mean time. HELP!

No, do not soak your kitty in water as you will drop it’s temperature which can be fatal.
It is hard to force feed a cat, but you have to do it to get her better.
Why is your cat dehydrated?

My cat got here back from the vet and had a difficult time getting over the anesthesia. She couldn’t eat, however would seem on the bowl then meow at me, like i am hungry! I took some moist cat meals and put slightly in her mouth. She would swallow it. Not too much, just a little. After a week of that, she could consume common food once more. If he is getting some water, thats excellent. Preserve the water dripping, to make sure he’ll drink.
