Re: Need your help with Stretch

[PEC2851]

Wendy~ Have a vet tech demonstrate...... It sounds rather frightening, but in fact it isn't bad. You pull up a "flap" of skin & put the needle in the "tent".  The amount of fluids administered depends on weight of cat, and how often it is done, Ix Day or 2X day. Fluids can be lactated ringers, which is basically sterile saline with electrolytes. Then there's Nacl, some with dextrose.... Vet will advise. Often, lactated ringers is used for re-hydration. Also, the cost should be very minimal. (A bag of fluids is usually 1000 ml.) Good Luck, Hugs, Patti
