You've got it right. You use a bag for hydration, (not IV, IV means
into the vein), because they need more fluid than what you could fit
into a syringe. Once a cat that is dehydrated figures out how much
better they feel after they get fluids, they usually settle down and
accept the process, some even seem to enjoy it.

I feel a little dumb here. I thought sub-q meant you
would inject fluid in a needle under the cat's skin.
I didn't know you were hooking up a whole IV bag to
the cat! I assume this is done to rehydrate an
animal. I don't think Cricket would go for this. Can
anyone give me the simple explanation of sub q? Thanks!
