Thought I would bump up this thread in case some folks who use LR sub-Q fluids might have some input.

Because Feeby gets a phosphorus binder daily, I give her Miralax daily - 1/8 tsp. She never actually stopped going but did back off from going every day to every other day - it was then that I started the Miralax. She still doesn't go every day all the time. I would rather give it to her daily...

How much sub-Q fluids have you given her? Maybe it needs to be increased for a period of time. I give Feeby 100 mls a day, and she has been getting that since last May.

Here I am again. I want to give Feeby her B-12 injection via her sub-Q fluids. I know about the y-port that is included on most lines from the sub-Q fluid bags, mine included. But I am having trouble finding instructions/videos that show the process in detail. Anyone have thorough instructions...

Feeby (almost 13 pounds) has been getting daily 100ml LR fluids since the beginning of May when her creatinine and BUN shot up. It has brought her numbers back down to the levels she had in January, Cre 3.5/BUN 62. That essentially puts her in Stage 3. Despite the fact that she rarely has a...

I was given sub q fluids to give to my cat because of his Ckd. He was fine for months. In the past 24 hours, he stopped eating or drinking. I have been syringe feeding with a high calorie mixture and giving about 80ml of sub q for the past 2 or 3 days now. Do I need to up the sub q amount...

My own cat is on daily sub-Qs now, but it wasn't advised to be started until she reached certain parameters (creatinine, most specifically) which included how she presented via overall health conditions because it is asking the kidneys to work harder. It is not as common to start a cat on...

Phoebe is now home! After 3 nights of hospitalization, Phoebe's creatinine is now 5.7. Not great, but given Phoebe's nervous nature (the nurses said she seemed terrified the entire time she was there), the negatives of continued hospitalization seemed to outweigh the potential benefits. She...

Callie is not on sub-Q fluids, but I think I'm going to bring it up with the vet, when I ask about buprenorphine. I'll try reducing the amount of Miralax I give her as well. She's not on a phosphorus binder because her phosphorus is at a good level, apparently ... somehow! I will provide...

I gave my little one sub-q fluids for the first time last night with no issues whatsoever. However, no hump formed. Did I just not find it? Or was she so severely dehydrated that it was immediately absorbed?

I was curious about this same question yesterday as I also have a box of Terumo needles left over from a previous cat that was getting sub-q fluids.

Do you think still sedated even three days on the first day home? He ate like a crazy cat and then the last two days no interest, but no they did not give me sub q fluids. Was just looking online, but they are required prescriptions.

Hi, for my angel Poppycat we had to give sub-q fluids at home. Another med was denamarin for liver support and then we switched to milk thistle. I don't recall how long it took before he was back to health, but a big milestone was when he became too strong for us to handle for the fluids...

Are you still getting him to the vet tomorrow? He likely needs sub-q fluids desperately, as well as anti-nausea meds. Perhaps even an appetite stimulant. I sure hope he makes it! Thank you for trying. Maybe some honey water or even just a bit on his tongue or gums. It works wonders!

Buprenorphine | VCA Animal Hospitals He sounds very sedated from the after effects of the surgery and the medication. However, that does not mean that he can go without food. You were given sub Q fluids already?

Should I try to do sub q fluids at home ? Vet is closed over weekend

Ok I'm going to be straight with you I know absolutely nothing about cats and sub q fluids. This being said I dont understand how he would become hyper as a side effect of too much sub q fluids. Can you explain this please because I am thinking he is starting to feel better maybe and that's why...

He definitely needs to see a different vet. He will likely need sub-q fluids. Whatever the first vet gave your 6-week-old kitten seems to have made him worse. I hope your kitten survives the night and will improve soon! Do keep us posted!

Feeby is getting Lactated Ringers sub-Q fluids, 100 ml a day. I just started a new bag (her 2nd) and noticed the drip tube is fuller than with the previous bag - maybe 1/2 full when the original drip tube stayed pretty much at about a 1/4 full - for as much as I can remember anyway. Is this any...

Not 5ml of miralax. 5ml of lactulose
