Vincent’s Subcut (the Floating Hand Technique)

Vincent has been very good during subcut these days. I have no complaints whatsoever  and am able to handle it all alone.

On cold days, I need both hands to handle the subcut because I can feel that the fluids under the skin is cool (and the weather is cold), so it helps if I put my whole hand onto Vincent’s skin to help keep his warmer. This helps a lot.

On hot days, I have to apply to “floating hand technique”!

As you can see, my hand is “floating” so that there is minimum contact with Vincent’s skin. He likes this on hot days.

But it’s tiring!!

Meanwhile, Vincent continues to eat well. I weighed him before breakfast yesterday and he was 3.8kg. That’s good enough. The vet already said he won’t make it to 4kg and that is okay. As long as his weight hovers around 3.5kg-3.8gk, I’m grateful.

Sometimes, Vincent can eat up to a whole can of food in one single sitting. His diet now consists of 7 types of food – Cindy’s, Monge, Primal, Cubgrub, Coco&Joe’s, homecooked, Gold-D (the last addtition, for a change of taste).
