The monject was what this vet had too. It worked okay but I'm going to order the UTW like you guys suggested. Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. Anything that helps. I still don't know that I could do it on an adult cat. It was easier on this kitten because she's so small that I could handle her. Might have to invest in that "cat bag" that Natalie mentioned in case I ever need to do the adults. Maureen
“I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn’t….the pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further.” – Mark Twain Date: Tue, 8 May 2012 15:02:15 -0700 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Giving sub-q fluids I've used the 20 UTW on 8 week old kittens with no probblm. BTW I only give kittens 25 ml of fluids at a time. Check with your vet for the recommended amount. Some put the needles in their freezer before using. Say they slide in easier. I never pre-warm the fluids.. Many do.. Just another step. Here is a link to the web site that was my bible when I started giving sub q fluids.Sophia Gets Her Subcutaneous (Sub Q) Fluids http://www.tinyurl.com/63max My vet only carried the monject kitty harpoons.

That's even smaller, correct? Does it work okay or does it take forever to get the fluids in because the needle is so small? _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
