Jack has CRF, he was throughly flushed for 2 days at the vet about 2 weeks ago, his blood numbers were 120 urea and 6.5 creatinin, those dropped in half with the massive IV flush for 2 days. After the flush he had a bunch of giddy up back in his step, but over the last 2 weeks he has slowed down again so we are going to start doing Sub-Q fluid therapy, the vet taught me how today.
He injected 180 ML to start with and we are going to continue that every 3rd day for now and see how that goes, we are using a BIG syringe. I had only read about the IV drip bag, but that takes a lot longer than the syringe so I opted for the syringe. Jack hardly seemed to care about the needle, but with the syringe there is 3 holes made instead of one for the drip bag.
So, who uses what and why?
