Long story short, my 15 year old cat has been diagnosed with diabetes and becomes dehydrated quickly and easily. The vet showed us how to give him fluids at home but of course he does not enjoy it. I have tried bottle feeding him with a bottle from a pet store, but he doesn't know what to do with it. Does anyone have any experience / advise on bottle feeding an older cat? Thank you!

I recommend that you join the Yahoo Feline Assisted Feeding group.
