Hey folks, I'm trying to find a hanging scale (0-1000g) that I can use to measure out sub Q fluid. Having trouble finding anything. Any recommendations you could pass my way.

Hi - my experience was that we were supposed to give certain quantities of the fluid that was in provided bags, which had measurements on the sides of each bag. Yours don't have the measurement markers?

I'm not understanding why you need a scale? Fluids are measured and dosed by volume, not weight. The vet will prescribe a dose of fluids in volume, example 100 ml once a day. if you're unclear on how to give your cat fluids, please discuss with your vet.
