Just wondering if anyone has any advice about this. My 21-year-old cat, Morgan, was prescribed weekly fluid treatment (100 ml) when the vet found she was dehydrated. She had one treatment at the vets, and we have given her one treatment so far. The vet said she shouldn't be in any pain during the treatment, but both times she has cried out and squirmed like she is in pain or at least very uncomfortable.
Is this reaction typical when giving sub-q fluids? Is there any way to make the process less uncomfortable and stressful for her? Any advice or tips would be appreciated!
