One option is to ask your vet to show you how to give her subcutaneous fluids, which I do all the time for my cats if needed. However, for now, it makes sense to leave her there I guess. I presume they are warming the IV fluids too, because again, with such a small kitten, it wouldn’t take much

I have never heard of this “bizarre core” reference to neutrophils. It may be a term you guys use in your country but I cannot even guess what the equivalent might be here. It certainly sounds like Nori had a bit of a transfusion reaction this time. Hopefully, it will pass and she’ll feel
