She needs fluid therapy everyday but I just can't do it myself - therefore I take her to the vet everyday. This is stressful on my cat and myself.. I know she will die without it but should I continue to put her through this pain? I really need some thoughts on this - any help you can give would be wonderful.. I look forward to hearing from you.

The main focus should be on what is the best quality of life for your cat. If the treatment (fluids, etc) are very stressful and strongly decrease her quality of life then it is not helping. The goal with pets is giving them the best quality of life for as long as possible. It is not to try every treatment available to preserve life at the cost of our pet's happiness.
It is always difficult to know when is the right time to say good bye to a dear pet and decide to euthanize. This is often a discussion to have with your veterinarian--they know the specifics of your cat's health and have known both you and your cat for many years.
You have given this cat an amazing 19 years. Euthanasia is many cases is a final gift we can give to our pets to end suffering and let them pass with dignity.
My thoughts are with you during this hard time.

I wouldn't because cats don't do therapy because they are a animal and animals don't need therapy so i wouldn't do it if it was my cat!1
