He is having a hard time calculating the dosage for some reason. I am not a vet - know lots about administering fluids, assisted feeding, URI, pilling, CRF, I have kind of a specialty with heart disease kitties as my soul kitty has heart disease - but nothing about hbp (yet, I will learn now). She acts absolutely fine. We did not believe she was as old as she is, she does not act like it. I do feel bad for her. Obviously her previous owner did not want to pay to fix what was wrong. I have never had to wait this long but I do not want her to get the wrong dosage. This vet has been in practice since 1967, so he knows what he is doing.
