I can't offer any new information but I have had some experience with
this in two of mine. Some photo's of one of my boys....

When they get to this point they are end stage, they bruise because
the blood is not clotting. There is nothing that can be done. My boys
didn't last more then a month once the bruising started.
The only suggestion I can offer would be to give pedialyte rather then
the sub-q's.
My thoughts are with you and your Woozle.
