YOU CAN GET A FLUID SET UP FROM THE VET AND IF YOUR MOTHER IS OK WITH IT, SHE COULD GIVE FLUIDS AS DIRECTED TO KEEP THEM HYDRATED. ANYONE I HAD TO DO THAT FOR WAS SO SICK THAT THEY DID NOT GIVE ME ANY TROUBLE. I HUNG THE BAG FROM A SHELF SUPPORT NEXT TO A COMFORTABLE CHAIR, POUT A TOWEL IN MY LAP AND RUBBED AND TALKED TO THEM FOR A MINUTE AND THEN INSERTED THE NEEDLE. YOUR MOM WOULD JUST HAVE TO GT PAST PUTTING THE NEEDLE IN UNDER THE SKIN AND THINKING SHE WAS HURTING THE CATS. THAT BOTHERED ME BUT I KEPT TELLING MYSELF IT WAS THAT OR THEY MIGHT DIE.
