All of that sounds good, let us know what the vet says. 100ml's of fluid sub q is common. One just needs a good setup and a little practice. We hung our bag from a pipe in the kitchen over the kitchen island and would place simon in a carrier. He just sat there and let me do the whole thing. You just need to practice getting the flow, keeping everything sterile, inserting the needle and keeping it there while managing the flow. A couple tries and you're a pro. Go to youtube.com and search on giving sub q fluids to cats there are tons of videos.Yes, thanks, I have seen it done. Dushka is a very quiet cat and good to medicate and feed, so I am sure I could do it by myself. And I am used to giving Wellington his insulin. I will ask the vet tomorrow. But she is taking lots of fluid by syringe. LAst night she had 20ml of catfood soup and kept it down all night. I have given her 40ml this morning, and left her washing her face on my bed - a good sign as she has not been grooming herself much. I shall continue to give liquid food during the day, every couple of hours. She is peeing but has not done a poo for at least 24 hours - but it could just be that there is no food in her gut.
