Here's a link about what the GIF-tube is.http://rutlandvet.com/giftube.html
Cleo's a good 18 years old, and her kidney is starting to go downhill on her. She's also borderline diabetic, but that's a whole nother ball game.She needs a lactate ringer every 3 days, to hydrate her and help her kidneys function. At least, that's how I understand it. She's got so many health things going on that I often forget what does what exactly, I just know the drill.
The important thing is she's not in pain, and pretty ignorant to her health issues so long as we keep up with them.Her quality of life is what it's all about! And the tube definitely helps with that. It's a godsend... we used to have to give her the liquids with a very big needle that obviously hurt. This doesn't hurt a bit! Her fur is starting to grow back in so soon it won't be quite as obviously sticking out of her too, lol.
Sadly, she doesn't get FM channels, just the AM Freakie.But that's okay, she like easy listening better anyway.
