I just got some new bags of lactated ringers from a local IV clinic in town... and the guy asked if I was keeping the unused fluid in the fridge. My vet never mentioned doing so... but now I wonder if I should be?
Also, I'm wondering about reusing the current IV admin set on the next bag... is that ok? Or is it one for one?
Last question... when you guys are giving SubQ's do you leave the used needle attached until it's time for the next dose... or do you put the cap for the IV set back on? My vet tech said to just leave the needle on.. and she threw the cap away (I had her set it up for me the first time). Is this ok?
Thanks,
Sandra
