Could it be a misunderstanding on a vet’s part – I am on CRF list and I know most of the people use LRS and never heard of this – and they are the first people to warn if this is a problem.. I can forward the email and ask them if you want..

I haven't followed thread (if any)---should I be alarmed? I'm giving Pookie Lactated Ringer's every 2 days, under skin. How were you told it shd be given Jenn if not under skin? I want to help this little guy not harm him!

I've used ringer's sub-q lots of times over the past 2-3 years and never had any problem with the skin.  Have never heard of that side effect - and have used on everything from bottle babies to a 19-yr-old.

I thought you couldn't give lactated ringer's sub-q because it would cause the skin
to slough off. The vet I used to work for told me this... to be very careful to not
get the lactated ringer's mixed up with the saline, because if you give lactated
ringers under the skin, it does serious damage to the tissue, and can make the cat's
skin actually SLOUGH OFF of their body. Maybe she was just trying to scare me into
getting the right bag the first time...
