Wendy,
The fluid is already in the bags you buy. You don't fill them yourselves. I don't know what all is in them. I suppose electrolytes, fluids, maybe potassium? If you've got a decent vet a bag of fluid and the set up for sub q should be less than $10.

Hey Michelle,
I can't imagine how you felt with them telling you to
pay up front while you're holding your sick cat! That
just sounds bad! I just started working a second job,
so as soon as we get any money at all, then I will
probably take Stretch in for the tests and if
affordable, to get X-rays, and the fluid drained. Do
X-rays show cancer tumors and/or fluid? Also, how
often do you give the dex/depo shot (if it is
lymphoma)? I could not really tell if the dex shot
helped much. Stretch isn't breathing as heavily as
she was, but her breathing is still somewhat labored.
Also, where do you get the bags and needles to do
sub-Q fluids? Is there anything else I need to do
sub-Q? Do you just use water?
Thanks,
Wendy
