When I was syringe feeding Tucker I took him to get fluids under the skin a couple of times and my vet only charges $14 to do it. My thoughts are that vets treat the symptoms but sometimes forget that we also need to treat the underlying problems. Which in our case is felv which causes a poor immune system.  
> I would say find something to boost the immune system as well. Since you are syringing you can just add supplements right to the food. I syringe Tucker a tiny bit of food twice everyday mixed with his supplements. My suggestion would be if cost is an issue to try something like Life Gold immunity. It equals out to about $10 a month, if you have deeper pockets I would do Vitality Science Advanced Immune Support, both of these companies offer a ninety day money back guarantee. You can do some research on products look and the ingredients and find something you feel comfortable with. I would give supplements not only while sick but as a maintenance to keep my kitties immune system strong, and fighting. I hope kokonut feels better soon and starts eating on her own. Keep us posted!
