Amazing the difference in vets. I've also used lactated ringer's sub-q a

Thanks Nina. I just called my vet because I'm taking
Cricket in for another ImmunoRegulin injection today,
and asked about subQ fluids. They said they could do
it if he is dehydrated and it is not expensive. I
would be very uncomfortable doing it, but I think
Cricket could use the extra fluids.
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,
