I'd recheck that with the manufacturer before giving it Sub-Q, it seems I recall it being said it is NOT meant to be given sub-q, and MUST be IV. I'd hate for her to have her skin start to slough off or something else horrible due to using I-R off label!!!

IF you do choose to use it OFF LABEL administered via Sub-Q, then you will have NO recourse if your cat is hurt or killed due to a bad reaction. You can't report reactions if you're not following the manufacturer's instructions for usage! Just be safe.... follow the label and give it IV only. Is it REALLY worth the RISK? If you do ever need to report a bad reaction, here's the place to do that: https://web01.aphis.usda.gov/CVB/adverseeventreport.nsf/Adverse%20Event%20Report%20Form?OpenForm (this one is for ANY bad reaction to ANY veterinary drug) http://www.vas-awareness.org/ReportReaction.htm (this one is specific to vaccine reactions, but you could always call the phone numbers and ASK about reporting non-vaccine pharmaceuticals) Phaewryn Please adopt a cat from Little Cheetah Cat Rescue!!! http://ucat.us/adopt.html Low cost Spay&Neuter services in VT, and Emergency Financial Assistance for cat owners: http://ucat.us/VermontLowCost.html Special Needs Cat Resources: http://ucat.us/domesticcatlinks.html The Sofa Poem: http://ucat.us/sofapoem.html Find us on PETFINDER! http://petfinder.com/shelters/VT44.html
