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

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...

...with her and all the meds/supplements that she is currently taking, but none of these things have changed since when she started the sub-Q fluids. I guess I could mention that she has been taking in less calories over the course of the past month but is not losing any weight. The only 'new'...

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...

...presented via overall health conditions because it is asking the kidneys to work harder. It is not as common to start a cat on routine sub-Q fluids even before they have been diagnosed with CKD - unless there is another underlying reason to do so. And it is more likely when CKD has progressed...

...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 will get daily sub-Q fluids and have a recheck in a week.

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!

Not 5ml of miralax. 5ml of lactulose

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...

...add water to Feeby's wet food. CKD in general can contribute to constipation. Depending on his kidney values, he might benefit from sub-Q fluids. Feeby had a bout last May with very elevated kidney numbers and she was started on sub-Q fluids. Her numbers dropped back down - still in the...
